Inspired by re-reading the book and watching the new movie on Netflix, Ben, Stephen, and Evan take to the microphones to appreciate the spiritual themes and fantastical ideas of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. 



From time travel to redeemed lives, from movies to radio to books, from creepy animation to creepy puppets, from ill-advised fan fiction to inspiring reworkings, A Christmas Carol is perhaps the greatest (fictional) Christmas story to be written. And it’s perfect for exploration on Strangers and Aliens . . .



Also, you can WATCH Ben dive into some of the themes here, on YouTube:

A $3 book with a catchy title bought on a whim became the best book Ben has read all year! And definitely the best $3 he has spent in a long time… 



This book involves four giants of science fiction; spiritual ideas; a unique writing challenge; and so, so much more!!!
