January 2019
Happy New Year!
It's January 2019 – Time to start the New Year with a month of Prayer & Fasting.
Fasting and praying are the themes of the books you'll find in the Book Nook this month. I've also included many different translations/versions of the Bibles we have in the Library, including a complete NIV version on CDs. For those of you who almost always use the same version, this is the perfect time to read and compare a the scriptures in a different translation. Please consider the opportunity to do that as we begin the New Year praying and fasting for a better understanding of God's Word.
Peace to you as you study this month.
Will You Be Fasting This Month?
Just in time for January’s “Vision for Fasting and Prayer,” we’ve added The Fasting Handbook: Dining from an Empty Bowl to the library’s collection.
Here are some of the facts about the book:
It’s only 90 pages, so it's quite easy to read in a brief amount of time.
It includes chapters on the “12 Types of Fasts,” “14 Activities or Foods to Refrain from Doing or Eating,” “14 Practices for Cleansing Your Body,” “22 Activities to Help You Fast,” and many more helpful facts and ideas.
Because this book has just arrived, it is currently available only by contacting Jerri Cooper at jerri@scfbc.org or by calling Trudy at the church office at 408-241-7635 to arrange to pick it up between 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
There’s only one copy, so now’s the time to check it out!
