One of the perils of revisiting beloved texts year after year is over-familiarity. Here is a resource for Advent and Christmas that offers powerful new perspect...ives on ancient stories. Don't forget to check out our series of New at Knox (Advent Edition) YouTube videos for other seasonal suggestions from Caven Library and The McKay Educational Resource Centre.

New at Knox (Advent Edition) presents You Won't Always Be This Sad: A Book of Moments by Sheree Fitch (Nimbus Publishing). Advent and Christmas are difficult se...asons for many people, perhaps this year more than most. Acknowledging this pain through word and symbol and ritual has become an important tradition in many churches. Whether you call it Blue Christmas or The Longest Night, or something else altogether, we have resources to help you in your exploration of grief and healing. To learn more, please take a look at our video--and stay tuned for upcoming recommendations for children's books on grief: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtLvNGBjwS0
