I did not have the book that accompanies the DVD study for Love Does.  I had heard about it and when the opportunity to see the curriculum came by I jumped at it.  The material included in this study is extremely practical and easy to follow.  I would bet if you were also reading the […]

The NIV Essentials Study Bible is a study bible encompassing 6 total NIV study resources.  This study bible is packed full of notes, maps, timelines, and other study resources, and has a full appendix as well.  It is an NIV translation, so it is pretty common language for the reader.  I have the hardcover bible, […]

This Bible is the translation with an emphasis on leadership.  All of the content, side notes, commentary, and reading plans center around leadership principles pulled from the Bible text.  The claim on the cover states that you can go from “Reader to Leader in 15 minutes a day”.  Each book of the Bible comes with […]

One year ago to the day, I preached my final message at Cornerstone Community Church after returning from an amazing trip to Swaziland.  We’d felt God calling us to resign, but didn’t know where to go next.  Still, we knew what God spoke to us and so we left.  It’s been a difficult but necessary […]
