What Can Bob Cratchit Teach Us?
Picking up thirteen years after A Christmas Carol ends, this new book follows Bob Cratchit and his family as they face challenges no one would have imagined.
At its heart, it’s a story about second chances and lives transformed. Ordinary people experiencing extraordinary grace. While suitable any time of year, it’s especially appropriate during Advent and throughout the Christmas season.
Easy to read. Easy to lead.
The Bible Study Guide is clearly organized, with little advance prep required. Each chapter includes guided reflections, carefully selected Scripture passages, and discussion questions designed to encourage lively conversation. (See examples in the “From The Publisher” section below).
Group members read a single chapter each week—typically in less than an hour—making it easy to fit into even the busiest schedule.
A Novel Approach
Books like A Christmas Carol and The Chronicles of Narnia resonate with church leaders and small group ministries because of their strong Christian themes. Like those books, Cratchit explores Christian themes through relatable characters and their everyday struggles.
Whether you're meeting in a church classroom or a living room, this story-driven Bible study is designed to get people talking—not just about the characters, but about their own lives and faith journey.
