Joy to the World

Philip Van Doren Stern [1930-84] was a respected researcher and historical author, who wrote one of the best loved Christmas stories that he titled "The Greatest Gift:  A Christmas Tale."  He tried to have it published, but no one was interested. We know the story today as Frank Capra's motion picture, "It's a Wonderful Life,"  starring Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed.

This is a movie with deep spiritual themes. However, the messages are clearer in the original short story, "The Greatest Gift." It contains some important lessons for us in this 3rd week of Advent.
