1/27	Wild At Heart: Dare to be the man God created you to be! In eight provocative lessons on authentic masculinity, John Eldredge challenges you to abandon passivity and actively pursue your God-given dreams. God designed men to be dangerous, says Eldredge. Simply look at the dreams and desires written in every boy's heart: to be a hero, to be a warrior, to live a life of adventure and risk. Sadly, most men abandon those dreams and desires---aided by a Christianity that feels like nothing more than pressure to be a "nice guy." It's no wonder that many men avoid church, and those who go are often passive and bored to death. In this provocative book, Eldredge gives encouragement for men to walk the road least taken—and important insights for the women who love them!
3/24	“Hope for the Hurting.” This study uses Scripture & discussion to help the women deal with the emotional pain of either the past or present.

No reservation is necessary, but donations are appreciated.
