This short book of devotional reflections and prayers, from Wheaton College theologian Beth Felker Jones, was written in March and April of 2020, in the face of the pandemic crisis. These twenty-five short readings share the love of God and the hope we have in Jesus Christ as we face a time of fear, anxiety, isolation, and suffering. The devotions include material from Psalms of Lament, Julian of Norwich, and reflection on the meaning of Christ's death and resurrection. These reflections are a companion for anyone walking through suffering and crisis.
Beth Felker Jones is Professor of Theology at Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois. She is the author of many books and essays, including Practicing Christian Doctrine (2014), God the Spirit (2014), and Faithful (2015).
