Hope for the Holidays: Finding Light at the Darkest Time of the Year

There are not many books that empathize with people who feel lost and hopeless at the holidays and then earnestly desire to help them towards finding new hope. Too often in books about this time of year, there is an assumption that everyone at Thanksgiving and Christmas is happy, excited, and faith-filled. By writing it creatively through the lens of A Christmas Carol, whose main character is known to so many people as one who makes this spiritual journey, this book takes a unique turn. Paul E. Jarzembowski serves on staff at the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) in Washington DC and has been engaged in pastoral ministry, evangelization, training, teaching, and consulting for over two decades across the United States and around the world. †
