Thoughts from our Pastor:

08/01/2009
I would
commend
the
following resources
to help
you "gird
your
loins
with the
truth."
1. Read
the
Bible in
one
year.
Bible
Gateway
has four different
online
plans with one that takes you through the entire Bible in one year: http://www.biblegateway.com/resources/readingplans/more.php. If you
would
like to
have a
print
out to
aid you,
you can
download
a pdf
file
that
allows
you to
check
off what
chapters
you have
read.
To use
the checklist,
you will
need to
read 3-4
chapters
a day to
finish
in one
year.
2.
The
Discipline
of Grace
by Jerry
Bridges.
3.
Respectable
Sins:
Confronting
the
Sins We
Tolerate
by Jerry
Bridges
4. The
Complete
Husband:
A
Practical
Guide to
Biblical
Husbanding
by Lou
Priolo.
5. Feminine
Appeal
by
Carolyn
Mahaney. 6.
When
You've
Been
Wronged:
Moving
from
Bitterness
to
Forgiveness
by
Erwin W.
Lutzer.
Please be
discerning as
you
read. If
you have
any
questions
about the
books,
please
