Christians aren't immune from the stress and busyness that
mark our culture at Christmastime, so "From Humbug to Hallelujah" really
says it all. The overriding message in this biblically based
series featuring sermons by pastor Dr. Doug Rumford suggest
that the transformation in the life of Ebenezer Scrooge in
Charles Dickens's classic tale "A Christmas Carol" can be
the real experience of people in our churches, thanks to
the power of Immanuel . . . "God with us!"
