The story
Dickens’ classic, retold in 1800s San Antonio
Old Jake Marley is dead, and Ebenezer Scrooge — the tight-fisted owner of the First National Bank of San Antonio — couldn’t be bothered to stay for the end of the funeral. He has money, a business, and a roof over his head. What he doesn’t have much use for is people, or Christmas.
Then, on Christmas Eve, Marley comes back with a warning. Three angels — sent as messengers instead of ghosts — lead Scrooge through his past, his present, and the future his choices are shaping: a lonely childhood, a love he let slip away, the Cratchit family getting by on almost nothing, and a Christmas no one will remember him for.
Told by a quick-witted frontier narrator and full of humor, this Christian edition of A Christmas Carol follows Scrooge — fighting and grumbling all the way — to the discovery that changes everything: God’s gift of grace, freely given, and a heart that finally learns to give.
