About this episode

In this episode, Max Lucado discusses the transformative power of God's grace using the story of Ebenezer Scrooge as an illustration.

Hello, my friend. I hope you’re having a good day. I know Christmas was months ago, but I hope you’ll indulge my Dickensian illustration in today’s episode. The tale of Ebenezer Scrooge paints just the right picture and reminds us that the abundant grace of God has the power to un-Scrooge the most stubborn hearts.
