We asked a few faculty members to recommend one new book and two old ones in the same category for summer reading.

I know this might sound like a lot of effort but it is worth every second to have God’s word stored up in our hearts.

Father, as I preach, guide me in truth. Protect me from error. Show them he’s true. Let them taste of his beauty.
