Summary Table of Contents

52 heartwarming lessons crafted from the Christmas classic It's a Wonderful Life. "No man is a failure who has friends." "Each man's life touches so many other lives." The more obvious lessons of the holiday classic It's a Wonderful Life, have become fodder for family conversations for years. Now, Gold Medallion Award-winning author Bob Welch takes us deeper into the nuances of Frank Capra's 1946 tribute to bedrock values. From the lightheartedness of George and Mary's floor-parting dance to the poignancy of a community that rallies to save a desperate man, 52 Little Lessons from It's a Wonderful Life will inspire you to live for the deeper stuff that, as George Bailey finds, matters most.
