Library Book of the Month

This book, Hang In There! Successfully Navigating the Christian Faith, by our pastor, Wes Brockway is one of those books that is necessary to keep handy, not just read and put on a shelf somewhere. This is a guide to what to do when we find ourselves drifting off the path that God has set for us as Christians. It is based on Hebrews, and how the author at that time kept encouraging the new Jewish Christians to maintain their Christian values and not go back to their old Jewish ways. It uses the analogy of being so excited when we first got our driver's license and how excited we were to drive around with our friends. Then after driving for a while we tended to perhaps drift through that stop sign, or go a little fast around that turn, or maybe slide a little in the rain when we should know we should be more cautious.

Our Christian life is akin to that. When we first accepted Jesus, we were so excited to tell everyone and invite them to church with us. Then, as we got more comfortable in our Christianity, we might skip the Sunday evening service for a ball game we wanted to see, or perhaps slip up and say something about someone when we should know better. We can easily slide down that slippery road if we are not cautious of our way of thinking .

This book encourages each of us to stay on the right track that our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ has set for us.
