Parishoners Recommendations
Faith and Practice by Frank E. Wilson ($20) - Father Hines
My Utmost for His Highest (King James Version) by Oswald Chambers "This is a devotional book with meditation for every day.
I found it to be very helpful for both my own devotional study and for some sermons." ($11) - Bishop Schultz
The Business of Heaven: Daily readings from C.S. Lewis "Another book that is very good for daily meditations. I've alternated
reading these books every day for several years now and I always get something out of them." ($11) - Bishop Schultz
Wide as the Waters: The story of the English Bible and the Revolution it inspired by Benson Bobrick ($18) - Jim Lipsey
The books run a gamut from a collection of sermons - All is Grace: a collection of pastoral sermons by the first Archbishop
Robert Sherwood Morse, to a biography of Martin Luther, several books on prayer, meditation and worship, as well as a
history of the "continuing Anglican movement" by Bishop Paul Hewett and a book of commentary on the American prayer book.
Six displays of material were highlighted in the library and through the newsletter. To help with understanding meditating
on the new testament readings for evening prayer listed in the Book of Common Prayer, commentary by William Barclay is
now included in the display. All items in the display are available for check out.
