Synopsis

An original Advent course based on, and inspired by, It’s a Wonderful Life

• Themes explored in It’s a Wonderful Life are a perfect fit for an Advent course
• Includes suggested film clips from movie, discussion points, prayers and notes for small group leaders
• Follows classic format of DLT’s bestselling Lent courses with film tie-ins

Just as Christmas can promise so much and often deliver so little, our own lives can seem bittersweet when we consider dreams we may have had that never came to pass. But, as George Bailey discovered in the classic Christmas movie It’s a Wonderful Life, it is never too late to re-evaluate our lives, to find so much to be thankful for, and to live again. This can also be a time to discover new hope in our relationship with God. To Live Again is an original Advent course based on, and inspired by, It’s a Wonderful Life. In four weekly study sessions, structured around key scenes from the film, it explores the following themes: • Hopes and Dreams • When Life Doesn’t Go Our Way • In the Dark Times • The Right Perspective Each section includes timing references for watching scenes from the movie on a DVD, questions for discussion in groups or for private reflection, activities and suggested prayers.
