Scrooge: A Christmas Carol
Even though we’ve probably heard it countless times, there’s still a lot we can learn from Charles Dickens’s classic tale, A Christmas Carol.
In this 5-day devotional, we’ll dive into Scrooge’s world, discovering what Scrooge and the people he meets along the way can show us about choosing joy, searching for contentment, extending mercy, and so much more.
