Marley was dead to begin with....

William Bennett rewinds the story and focuses the spotlight on Scrooge's miserly business partner, Jacob T. Marley, who was allowed to return as a ghost to warn Scrooge away from his ill-fated path. Why was Marley allowed to return? And why hadn't he been given the same chance as Ebenezer Scrooge?
Or had he?

"As a fan of A Christmas Carol, which I read every Christmas, I was interested in the story of Jacob Marley. The author has done a very good job to give the book a Victorian novel feel. The story unwinds well and carries more than one emotional punch. It's a ta of penitence, love and forgiveness. Are they enough to lead to Jacob's eventual redemption or is he indeed doomed to travel the earth forever? Read it, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I have added it to my Christmas reading."
