Living with Hope: Navigating Political Division, Global Pandemic, and Personal Problems
Twenty-five chapters of devotional and inspirational reading based upon the beautiful letter of the Apostle Paul to the first-century church in Philippi. With chapter titles like What Really Matters, Questions of the Soul, and Shinning Like the Sun, you will be motivated to live for Christ and serve the common good.

I Have All I Need.
