United Methodist Pastor Olu Brown penned the original version of this book during the COVID-19 crisis of spring and over the following months. With COVID-19 and unrest on American streets as a backdrop, Brown reminds the reader that God is still in control and there is still hope for the world. Brown updated Hope: An Advent Journey in summer of 2023 for groups that haven't used the original version of this study. Designed for both individual and group study, Hope: An Advent Journey is the perfect companion for Advent 2023.
