The Tyranny of the Last Book

8/15/2022

 
One of the things that ministers do on a regular basis is read books! One of my favorite times of the year is November, not because of Thanksgiving (I prefer cow to bird, personally—Turkey is the vanilla ice cream of the food world—bland, bland, bland, unless, of course, you dress it up with bacon and stuffing, then it’s ok).
