The Cross Reference Book Club book for March: Fight Like Jesus: How Jesus Waged Peace Throughout Holy Week by
Brief overview:
Throughout Holy Week, two competing approaches to peacemaking collide. What if we’ve embraced the wrong one? We desperately need to recover the radical vision of peacemaking that Jesus embodied throughout Holy Week. And we urgently need to be trained in his way of making peace. So, come. Let’s journey together day-by-day through Jesus’ final week and discover anew why he is called the Prince of Peace.
We look forward to hearing what you learned from reading this book at our next meeting on Saturday, March 25 at 9:30 AM at the Frater Library. Join the group and RSVP so that we know you’re participating. You can join the Book Club Group and RSVP in the App: Home>Connect>Groups or click here.
Come join us whether you’ve read the book or not – we welcome all discussion. We’re excited to see you!

Wrapped within the arms of heaven
