A Hidden Wholeness: The Journey Toward an Undivided Life by Parker Palmer. Recommended by Steve P. Rating: 9/10.

Parker Palmer has been widely read within Immanuel, and for good reason.  This book was used by the Call class I was in years ago and it was a wonderful resource for our exploration of call, and dealing with life’s challenges.  Palmer is very honest about his struggles, and what he shares is enormously helpful. Purchase on Cokesbury, ThoughtfulChristian, or Amazon.

Wonder by R.J. Palacio. Recommended by That Guy Who Lights The Candle. Rating: 10/10.

I recommend “Wonder” because it has been very moving to me and I think it will give you a different perspective. Purchase on Cokesbury, ThoughtfulChristian, or Amazon.
