Frequently Asked Questions:

Does the study guide include the entire book of A Christmas Carol?

Yes. The study guide includes the entire original Dicken’s classic as well as discussion questions, character sketches, and commentary.

How long is the study?

The study is five weeks which is perfect for Christmas and Advent Bible studies, but can easily be formatted to both four and six week studies based on your schedule.

Does each person in the study need their own book?

Yes. It’s most helpful for learning purposes if each person has their own book. However, couples might find it convenient to share a book.

Is there much homework?

The only homework is to read one chapter and answer corresponding discussion questions each week prior to class. 

Can anyone lead the study?

Absolutely! The study is created in a discussion format allowing leaders to simply guide participants through each study question at weekly meetings.

Can I get access to the answers for each discussion question?

Yes. The answers for each discussion question are available for free online! In addition, we provide a Scripture Reference sheet for each Bible passage to save time in class.

What age group is this study for?

You can use this study with all age-groups, but we also have created a version just for teens.

In what formats is the book available?

The book is available in both print and e-book formats. However, print is most helpful when writing answers to discussion questions found in the book.

Can we also use one of the many movies with the study?

Yes! We actually encourage using movie segments in class if able, but certainly not required. Or, gather one evening and watch the movie together as a fellowship. We believe the version starring Patrick Stewart follows the storyline best.
