I hope you have all found some interesting reading matter during the summer. Are there any recommendations?
For this edition, I am pleased to present a variety of suggestions, including a fun colouring book and a preview of Advent and Christmas Books.
The Day The Revolution Began (Rethinking The Meaning of Jesus’s Crucifixion) by Tom Wright
Jesus’ crucifixion is the event at the heart of the Christian faith. With in-depth research and insight, Wright shows that Jesus’ death not only released us from the power of sin, but began a world-wide revolution that continues to this day. A revolution responsible for restoring and reconciling the whole of creation. This book takes you to a new level in understanding the meaning of Jesus’ sacrifice; opening up its powerful and amazing implication, inspiring you with a renewed sense of purpose and hope, and reminding you of the crucial role you play in the world-transforming movement that Jesus started.
