“Peace” by Walter Brueggemann was a wonderful book that fed my soul. Again, instead of going over every section that I highlighted (which seems to be just about on every page,) I’m going to touch on a few key points of the book and encourage you to buy the...

The third book I read over the summer was Entrepreneurial Faith by Kirbyjon Caldwell and Walt Kallestad. This is a book that is up my alley. It’s a book that touches on the core of who I am – a book that speaks to my being. It’s about seeing...
