Un-Christmas: An Advent Study for Navigating Life's UNs (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798991527316)

What are the "UNs" you face in life? These are the emotions and experiences that Christian culture often deems taboo, the feelings we're told are "UN-Christian" to express or even acknowledge. From feeling unhappy and unwanted to being unfiltered and unworthy, these "UNs" are not just seasonal struggles during the holidays but challenges we face throughout every stage of life. In this transformative Advent devotional, you'll explore these difficult emotions and discover that they do not diminish your faith or distance you from God-in fact, they are a part of the human experience that even biblical figures faced.

Through 31 days of reflection, this book will take you on a journey through the lives of key characters from the Christmas story, the lineage of Jesus, and those who played pivotal roles in God's redemptive plan. You'll see how they navigated their own "UNs," often finding strength in the midst of their most vulnerable moments. By walking alongside these figures, you'll gain a deeper understanding that being Christian is not about having everything perfectly together, but about embracing the messy, the difficult, and the "UNs" with faith and trust in Jesus.

This Advent, challenges the myths that have held you back from fully experiencing the depth of God's love. Let this devotional guide you to the truth that true joy is not found in life's milestones or in meeting others' expectations, but in encountering Jesus-the One who doesn't shy away from our "UNs" but meets us right where we are. Discover a faith that is honest, resilient, and rooted in the person of Christ, who brings light into the darkest corners of our lives.
