Fall
has arrived and once again I am reminded that the Christmas season is not too
far away. I enjoy Christmas classics
which is why I was excited about the opportunity to review 52 Little Lessons from It’s a Wonderful Life. Bob Welch has penned a delightful book which
contains 52 life lessons from this classic movie. Each chapter has a title (which is the life
lesson), a line (or lines) from the movie and then a few pages expanding upon
the life lesson.
I
really enjoyed this book as it gave an in depth view of the movie. I look forward to watching the movie this
year as I am sure I will notice things that I have not noticed before reading
this book. One part of the book that I
really enjoyed was the Author’s Note in the beginning. Bob talks about how a bank in the city that
he lives in requires all new employees to watch a series of scenes from this
movie. He quotes the bank president who
said, “The message in that film, is the message we want our employees to come
to work with every day: the idea that our actions make a difference in the community
around us.” What a powerful statement! If you like this movie I believe you will
enjoy this book.
