Dear Reader,
I hope that the New Year – 2024 – is starting out well for you. My prayer is that the New Year is full of wonder and awe; a wonder and awe that the God of all wonders causes. May this year be one that you find and experience God in many places. One place that we can find wonder and awe is in a good book or two or more.
My challenge for us all is to READ, READ, READ!
Pick a book and read it. Maybe ask a friend for a recommendation of a book they enjoyed. Research what the top books are in the category you would like to explore. And, when you finish a good book, let someone know and tell them about what you took away from the reading of it.
I am currently reading “After 50 Years of Ministry: 7 Things I’d Do Differently & 7 Things I’d Do The Same” by Bob Russell.
I highly recommend reading this book if you are in the ministry of preaching, teaching, pastoring in the local church. Bob Russell had a successful ministry at Southeast Christian Church and looks back at his ministry and encourages others with his experiences and thoughts about it.
Let us make this year full of good books that have impacted our lives!
Peace to you,
Keith Mitchell
