Celebrate the Holidays with Middle Church
Jesus’ birth proclaims that tenderness matters—testifies that vulnerability can overcome violence. It’s not an anemic hope of static waiting, but faith lacing up its boots to march toward beloved community.
This season, join a story about a different kind of triumph. Dare to let it claim you.

Fierce Love
Inspired by the Ubuntu philosophy “I am who I am because we are who we are” and explained through stories from her own life, Dr. Lewis details the nine daily practices necessary for transforming ourselves, our communities, and our world at large. From learning to put down our emotional baggage to speaking truth to power to resisting joyfully, Dr. Lewis gives readers a renewed sense of the power they have to create caring communities; to stand up for the vulnerable; and to change our shared story from one of anxiety, anger, and divisiveness to one of mindfulness, compassion, and unity.
Jacqui’s Fierce Love is a manifesto for all generations, a universalist’s vision for mending our broken hearts and fractured world.
