United Church Bookstore: Jesus Crisis!
With a meticulous commitment to justice, Jesus cuts into our world of destruction: he severs oppressive systems, dissects violent divisions, and hacks at the hate that poisons our shared divinity. After a year of one crisis after another, might we embrace the Crisis who arrives in the form of a tiny baby? That's what our new Advent devotional,
Jesus Crisis, is dedicated to exploring. Pick up your copy today—and remember to browse the bookstore's
Advent collection while you're at it!
