52 Little Lessons from Les Miserables

Inspirational Reflections on Victor Hugo's Classic Masterpiece

About this book

Gold Medallion Award-winner Bob Welch crafts 52 nuggets of Bible-based wisdom from one of the most popular novels, musicals, and films of all time: Les Misérables.

In 52 Little Lessons from Les MisĂ©rables, Bob Welch walks readers through Hugo's masterpiece, extracting dozens of uniquely spiritual reflections from this enduring portrait of poverty, social injustice, mercy, and redemption. Welch reminds us that Jean Valjean's life provides the truest example of why real love is found in the grittiest places, and that hearts are made whole beneath the crush of mercy. Most important, though, Welch keeps returning to the intersections of faith and reality throughout Hugo's writing—those places where mercy becomes an inroad to the heart, and where love is only truly received when it is given without condition.

Discover again why life's purpose is found not in attending to personal needs and desires, but in responding to the hearts of others.
