52 Little Lessons from It's a Wonderful Life
52 Little Lessons from It's a Wonderful Life | Bob Welch
8 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
Do you pay a visit to Bedford Falls every Christmas? Does December feel incomplete without a reminder that no man is a failure who has friends? If George and Mary Bailey are annual guests at your home during the holidays, you already know that Its A Wonderful Life is far more than just a festive seasonal film. Its a reflection of what we can be when were at our best and a reminder that our lives can change everyone around usfor better or worse. Revisit the defining lessons in Frank Capras 1946 classic, and discover new dimensions of the film youve seen time and again. What can you learn from Marys quiet contentedness? Does Georges selflessness make you rethink your own priorities? And how about Clarences dogged commitment to his assignment? Join author Bob Welch for a close-up of the characters and themes that shape this beautiful story. Youll be reminded that lifes most important work is often the work we never planned to do and that God can use the most unlikely among us to get the job done. 52 Little Lessons from Its a Wonderful Life will inspire you to live for the deeper stuff that, as George Bailey finds, matters most.

I am allergic to turkey. It took many a holiday meal before we figured this out. One particular Christmas Eve, I felt so awful that I decided to stay home while the rest of my family went to the Midnight Carol service at church. My sister handed me It's a Wonderful Life, and said "here, this will make you feel better, guaranteed!" Of course, it's not a short movie, so they returned and I was still in the depressing middle, bawling my eyes out. ?

TheKidUpstairs I may have yelled at my sister, something along the lines of "what is wrong with you?!?! How is this supposed to make me feel better?!?!?" (There may have been more curses IRL) So she made me ginger lemon tea and sat with me through to the happy ending. Thanks for the generous #giveaway @MaleficentBookDragon 6y

TheKidUpstairs @aschermetz it's one of mine now, too. But it was a bit of a rough introduction! 6y

Mehso-so

I came across this book last year and just now finally got around to reading it. It's A Wonderful Life is hands down my favorite Christmas movie. The lessons here are helpful and will make you think, although they did get repetitive about halfway through the book. My biggest gripe is the inaccuracies about the movie that are sprinkled throughout. I'm wondering if the author watched this more than once. Still worth reading if you like the movie.3⭐️
