A Christmas Carol

A church leader presents the classic text and explains the relevance of its message for Christians Arguably the most famous Christmas novel of all, this tale is as familiar to children as it is to adults, with its cast of macabre ghosts and the archetypal miser, Scrooge. But the book has also had a lasting effect on our ideas about the Christmas season being a time for loving and giving, and at its heart lies a penetrating Christian message. In this new edition, Archbishop Sentamu discusses the biting truths implicit in Dickens' classic tale of bitterness and redemption.

Charles Dickens (1812–1870) is considered one of the English language’s greatest writers. His works include Bleak House, David Copperfield, Great Expectations, The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby, and A Tale of Two Cities.
