It's a Wonderful Life: A 31-Day Devotional Based on Favorite Christmas Classics

By David McLaughlan

Here’s a fun, nostalgic, encouraging month’s worth of reading for the busy holiday season: It’s a Wonderful Life, a brand-new Christmas devotional. This 31-day book includes brief readings based on Christmas classics—stories, books, movies, poems, and songs. Each entry draws a spiritual point from the particular works, whether sacred or secular, accompanied by relevant quotations, scriptures, and prayers. Entries range from the namesake 1946 film starring Jimmie Stewart, to Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, to the 1965 television favorite A Charlie Brown Christmas—and end with the actual account of Jesus’ birth from Luke 2. It really is a wonderful life—because of Christmas!
