for a full list of books for the next few months and sign up at the link at the bottom of the blog for updates.
In November we are reading two books; All Questions Great and Small by Adrian Plass & Jeff Lucas
and Confessions by Saint Augustine.
The Adrian Plass book is not too heavy and the Augustine is classic Christian literature that is best dipped in and out of.
