First published in 1843, it tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, a mean and unpleasant man who dislikes people generally and Christmas especially. One Christmas Eve he is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come and given a glimpse of the many homes and lives which Scrooge has touched in his wretched life to date. After their visits, Scrooge is transformed into a kinder, gentler man.

An endearing and timely reminder that people indeed can change. This enduring classical tale never fails to bring a smile and Hugh Grant’s performance was stellar. This one may become a new tradition at our house.

Following Jane from her childhood as an orphan in Northern England through her experience as a governess at Thornfield Hall, Charlotte Brontë's Gothic classic is an early exploration of women's independence in the mid-19th century and the pervasive societal challenges women had to endure. At Thornfield, Jane meets the complex and mysterious Mr. Rochester, with whom she shares a complicated relationship that ultimately forces her to reconcile the conflicting passions of romantic love and religious piety.

A beautiful story, the triumph of grace
Revisado: 12-15-23
Beautifully performed tale had me rooting for Jane from the very beginning. Richly-developed characters making choices with lasting impact on their lives. Beautiful to see Jane chart her course of growth and confidence and independence, always colored by an exemplary, loving, forgiving character.

Mark Rivers was a firefighter until he got trapped in a wildfire and suffered third-degree burns on his face and body. After a year of recovering, Mark is trying to piece his life back together but struggles both emotionally and psychologically. He's been a recluse until he forces himself to attend his niece's school play and sees Riley, the school's art teacher. Immediately, Mark feels a connection to her. Maybe it's the kind way she greets his niece or the way the art she created for the school play is reminiscent of his late mom's artwork.

At one time, Corrie ten Boom would have laughed at the idea that she had a story to tell. For the first 50 years of her life, nothing out of the ordinary ever happened to her. She was a spinster watchmaker living contentedly with her sister and their elderly father in the tiny house over their shop in Haarlem. Their uneventful days, as regulated as their own watches, revolved around their abiding love for one another. But with the Nazi invasion and occupation of Holland, everything changed....

Living breathing example of the triumph of loving forgiveness over hate
Revisado: 11-06-21
This masterfully written true story held the rapt attention of our multi-age family. For weeks we treasured our after-dinner reading time - taking on more clean-up tasks in the kitchen just to extend listening time. What a convicting example in a culture that whines over our first-world problems. Profound discussion fodder for table, homeschool, and our Classical Conversations class.

Subtle Literary Mastery - Classic Lewis
Revisado: 04-01-19
Subtle and thought-provoking, this classic Lewis work lets us examine our own world with new eyes of wonder. His brilliant word play cuts to the heart of things as he imagines a world where innocence still reigns. A favorite with our family and high school classes.

Enjoyable and Informative
Revisado: 11-14-18
Loved reading this with my 11-y-o daughter. It integrated well with our ancient history homeschool studies, and with Classical Conversations Cycle 1. It spurred insightful discussions about standing up to injustice and cultural distinctives of Egyptian culture of that day contrasted with our modern values. Very engaging performance.
