About this Event

Come join us with author Quentin Schultze as he discusses life lessons from the classic holiday film "A Christmas Story"! The event will start at 7 p.m. and include a Q&A time.

About the Book:

Take a fun-loving and insightful romp through the 20 life lessons in the Christmas classic "A Christmas Story", based exclusively on the author’s friendship with screenwiter for the film, Jean Shepherd. Now you won't need a decoder ring to learn why the Old Man’s leg lamp is his “trophy wife,” why the bully is named “Scut,” why there is a “Bumpus” in all of us, why Mom and the kids give a “Bronx cheer” after singing “Jingle Bells” in the Olds, and so much more. The book includes trivia questions, line drawings, and a special appendix on Shepherd's 7-step process for telling humorous stories.

About the Author:

Quentin Schultze is a speaker, mentor, consultant, and professor of communication emeritus at Calvin University. He has written many books, including Communicating with Grace and Virtue, and An Essential Guide to Interpersonal Communication. You can visit his website at www.quentinschultze.com.
