Christ in the Time of Corona: Stories of Faith, Hope, and Love

What stories will historians tell about COVID-19? They’ll include the death count and rate of contagion, along with all the relevant statistics. They’ll detail the rise and fall of the market and the actions of key world leaders. Hopefully, they’ll even tell of a miracle drug created through collaborative effort and distributed to the masses. Points of data and analysis will help make sense of the crisis. Yet, to get a full picture of life in the time of Corona, we need the stories of regular people navigating an upended world. Christ in the Time of Corona explores what a life of faith, hope, and love looks like for some of the people living in a global pandemic. Written by Christians under social distancing orders, these stories and essays offer a snapshot of how work, relationships, and worship were altered overnight and what broken, trying-to-be-faithful, often-failing, Jesus-following people did and thought during this time. May you find Christ even in the time of Corona. The authors’ proceeds are all going to World Central Kitchen to help cook meals for people all over the world.
