I was recently given two of these books to check out and review. I really liked them for two main reasons.

1. They are perfect for small group applications in a church setting
2. They also work perfect for one on one discussions or personal devotions.

Each topic is relevant to church life and you can easily continue a good discussion after reading these. They even include questions to help.  Check out the listing on topics and pick one up….

Today was an awesome day! We held our first baptism @ Deer Run Retreat in Thompsons Station. What a special place. The weather was perfect. A bunch of family members came out to support Deana, Kristi, Hannah and Ansley. I’m so proud of them. This is what Church is all about…check out some pictures of this great day.
