Another Story Must Begin

Another Story Must Begin is an original Lent course based on the film, the novel and the stage adaptation of Victor Hugo's Les Miserables.  Through discussion of some of the themes and principle characters of this epic narrative, the course explores the grace of God, alongside our fallen state and opportunities for redemption.  It asks us to reassess what we can do with our lives, both or ourselves and for those around us.

The course is based around five weekly group sessions: Fantine and Cosette, The Bishop of Digne, Jean Valjean, Javert and Redemption and Salvation.

Each session includes suggestions for using the Oscar-winning film and the original novel as inspiration and provies quesitons and reflections for group discussion.  Each session also includes introductory reading, notes for leaders, related Bible passages and suggested closing prayers.
