Humbug and Happiness
An Advent Study with the Classic Movie A Christmas Carol
Following her successful Advent course To Live Again, based on It’s a Wonderful Life, Sheila Jacobs has written a brand new course to be studied by individuals or groups as a companion to the 1951 classic movie A Christmas Carol, starring Alastair Sim. Using suggested clips from the film alongside Bible-based reflections, prayers, and conversation points, Humbug and Happiness considers past, present and future through the expected Messiah, the Jesus of the first Christmas, and his promises for the future, as well as themes of forgiveness, living in the now, and trusting God.
Sheila Jacobs is a Christian writer and editor. An award-winning author of eleven novels, she has also co-written nonfiction, including Someone to Believe In, an Advent course based on Miracle on 34th Street.
