Summer Reading
| 
Since reading is a key part of spiritual formation, the staff at HOPE recommend one or two books each quarter for you to read with a group of friends or on your own. This summer's selection is Just Courage by Gary Haugen. He is the president and CEO of International Justice Mission (IJM), a human rights organization based in Washington, D.C. Haugen writes about how to live a life of significance and adventure by expanding our vision of God and by learning to do justice, love mercy and walk humbly with our God ($10). |
