Pastors' Picks

Every so often we catch up with a pastor to see what he is reading right now. Below are a couple of our pastors' recommendations for great books to read.

Pastor Dean

It by Craig Groeshel
I have been using it in my devotion time and with the staff at CCMV. It is challenging us to refocus on what really makes the difference daily in our lives as well as in our ministries. A must read for every CF.
Pastor Shawn
Getting to Know the Church Fathers
by
Bryan M. Litfin
The author has a knack for making the history of the church fathers relevant to today’s church. Litfin makes ancient church history personal, relevant, and applicable by introducing ten of the church fathers to the reader. Litfin engages the reader and challenges them to get to know their spiritual heritage with these ten church fathers. He clears up some common misconceptions about them, but what he does best is something too few authors and teachers do today: Litfin applies the lessons and truths (of church history) to the lives of people today. Reading this book will inspire the reader to “contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 3).
Other Recommendations

"Destined to Soar" by K.P. Yohannan. K.P. shows you the way to rise above the weight of this world and keep your true purpose in clear view. Relevant and incredibly practical, his hope-filled approach to critical issues frees you to be all for Jesus. Pastor Beau
