“We spend most of our waking hours working. At work we fulfill many of our noblest dreams and endure many of our greatest sorrows. At work we do things for people and we do things to people, and they return the favor. Through work we feed our families and serve our neighbors. Through work we hone skills and make friends. When we work, we face our sin and the world’s brokenness, and yet we discover grounds for hope. Mindless work crushes the soul; yet even in the midst of tedious work, we may find ourselves and our place in society.” …

This month’s blog is an interview with Drew about his book. …

These are the books in my current stack of reading material. There’s a story with each one and why that book is on my nightstand, as it were. But I won’t bore you with that, as probably no one is interested in all of them, and I’m happy to tell you why the one or two you might be interested in is in this stack, if you ask me. I want to encourage you, as we begin to prepare for a new year with the typical yearend review and new year resolutions, is to read heart-changing books in 2019. I don’t mean read sappy stuff that tugs at your heart. I mean substantive books that don’t just give you information, but lead to transformation. Books that impact the heart…
