But these statements, separated by only a comma, tell us very little about the One in whom 'the fulness of God' lived and breathed!In four provocative and compelling sessions:Advent: A time for the kids?The life omittedUnspoken in AdventA life of riskJohn Bell writes vividly of the people Jesus met; the things he said; the controversy he caused and the affection he had for the marginalised and for women in particular.
