Marley's Redemption - David Marcum

Seven Years before Scrooge, Marley also had to choose! Marley's Redemption is a story of Love and Loathing, Justice and Mercy, Judgement of others and of self, a story of Hope and Hopelessness, Great Joy and the Depths of Despair-but most importantly it is the story of one man's fall from Grace and rise to Redemption. In Dickens' classic A Christmas Carol, we meet business partners Ebenezer Scrooge and Jacob Marley, and we grow to feel sorry for old Scrooge, because it is our privilege to peek into his past, present, and future, where we witness the miracle of his change of heart. But what about Jacob Marley? Surely he must have a past, present, and future worth review. Is he to be judged and sentenced to a life of chains and steel cash boxes for eternity? All we know of him from Dickens is that he must have failed his purpose in this life. Or did he? Seven years ago this very Christmas Eve, Jacob Marley died, it is true! But how and why? Did he die because he did not have the same change of heart as his partner? Would Scrooge have met the same fate had he not repented? In this Ghostly Christmas Tale, we find the answers as we walk with Jacob and soar over the roof tops of London with him. We feel what he felt, and live what he lived, both the good and the bad. Then-and only then-can we judge if his eternal reward is just.
