Book of the Month
The book of the month for April is The Cross He Bore by Frederick Leahy. Leahy writes, “As the cross is central in God’s eternal decrees, and in the actual redemption of His people, so it should be central in the thinking and experience of the individual Christian. It is my conviction and at times sad experience, that as the cross goes out of focus in the Christian’s life, coldness, and backsliding set in.” For this reason, please purchase and read it this month. Pick up a copy at the book table for $9.
