If you read only one book this summer, this one is worth reading, thinking about and perhaps engaging together. Extra copies have been ordered and once they come in will be available on the table by the office. Please feel free to take a copy. Who should read this book? Everyone, young and old, new Christian or experienced Christian. Please pick it up and if you are able to contribute 5 dollars toward the cost, that would be great, but it is not an obligation.
