Two new books out this fall!
Order from Amazon today.
Letters to a Future Saint: Foundations of Faith for the Spiritually Hungry is addressed to the bored and the distracted, the skeptical and the curious, the young and the spiritually hungry. Lively and readable, these bite-sized letters explain the basics of Christian life, including orthodox doctrine, the story of Scripture, the way of discipleship, and more. Out October 1, the book is available to order now!
The Church: A Guide to the People of God explains what it means to belong to God’s family. The Bible tells the story of God and his people, and this book traces that story, from father Abraham to the coming of Christ. The church is not peripheral or optional in the life of faith. Rather, it is the very beating heart of God's story, where our needs and hopes are found. Out October 23, the book is available to order now!
