Featured Books for November 2026
Thank you to those who have donated books or have given gifts. I have been able to add between 15 and 20 new titles this year.
The library has contained one book by Patsy Clairmont. But I recently added two more. I am featuring the three books this month. Patsy takes everyday events in life and turns them into everyday lessons with the humorous take for which she is famous.
(1) You are More Than You Know. This book deals with how to overcome debilitating fears.
(2) Sporting a ‘tude. What do you do when either you have to deal with someone’s bad attitude, or you display an un-Christlike attitude? The Word calls for us to show to all the attitude of Jesus. This book with Patsy’s lighthearted style shows how to Biblically deal with “tudes.”
(3) God Uses Cracked Pots. If you would like to smile, giggle, or even laugh out loud while God teaches you that it is good to be just what and who God wants you to be, this book is just for you!

Featured Books for October 2026
The word servant in the bible is translated slave.
The three books for this month deal with the theme Servants or Slaves.
(1) Slaves of Christ by John MacArthur. What does it mean to be a wholehearted follower of Christ? What does it mean to be a slave of Christ? What does it take to make HIM our Master-Owner and to obey and honor HIM fully?
(2) Slaves of Christ by Murray J. Harris. This book delves into the fuller history of slavery in ancient Rome and Greece and how that sheds light on the biblical meaning of the word.
(3) A Servant’s Heart by Ron Weber. This book shares ways in which one can serve Christ and be a servant or slaves of Christ.

Featured Books for September 2026
One of our featured books is on an important subject from a biblical perspective. The other two feature missionaries.
(1) Miracles of Grace Unfolding: One Baby at a Time by Lorie Sheldon Smith. Bill and Lori Smith are missionaries in Papua, New Guinea. Lori is a doctor working in a clinic. Both she and Bill wanted to serve where they are. They have a ministry starting churches – reaching the community. The accounts in the book tell of the ministry they have had with foster care helping multiple dozens of babies
(2) A Servant’s Heart by Ron Weber. This book is dedicated to the author’s long-time friends Chris and Joanna Sirbaugh, eight-time missionaries to Brazil. Their ministry includes dramatizations, art, juggling, puppets, and sharing the gospel through testimonies. The book deals with how to be a good servant of the Lord.
(3) What is a Woman by Mary A. Kassian. What is your view of what it is to be a woman? Kassian shares what the Word says God’s plan is for a woman. I found this book changed my whole way of thinking. This is a great read.

Featured Books for August 2026
Summer is a great time to sit and read a good book. For the month of August I am featuring Terri Blackstock’s series “If I Run” – books I found hard to put down.
The three books in the series are these: If I Run, If I’m Found, and If I Live.
Each has to do with the series main character, Casey Cox. Her DNA was all over the crime scene of her murdered friend. Did she do it? If not, who did?
Working on her case is investigator, Dylan Roberts. He is hired by the police department to find her and bring her in. Will he find her? Will he prosecute her? Or will he try to protect her?

Three Featured Books for July 2026
In an era when congregational singing is tantamount to singing “the handwriting on the wall,” the hymnal has been relegated to the pew rack to gather dust, or four or five used as a doorstop, and the rich history of the book is all but forgotten.
Professor Christopher N. Phillips’ book, The Hymnal…A Reader History is a bright ray of sunshine to those who love the hymnal and want to know more about it and how important a tool it was in European and American history. In the church, schools, homes, and in pocket versions, hymnals traveled with folks to use in their devotional time.
Though it is not a leisurely but a scholarly work, it is an interesting and informative read.
Jesus Calling by Sarah Young is a Bible Story/Devotional for young folks (those four and a half years old, preteens and teens).
If you are familiar with her “Jesus Calling” books, you will know this is a very good book for young and young-at-heart (and as a testimony yes even for adults!).
The third book is the second in the “Vanished” series by Dr. David Jeremiah and Sam O’Neal. Shattered follows John Haggerty and the other characters like LI Fan and Abigail as they navigate the chaotic aftermath of the Rapture, the rise of the Antichrist, the Beast, and Bible prophecy as it unfolds.

There are at least three Greek words in the Bible that are translated as LOVE. AGAPE=Selfless, unconditional God like love. PHILEO/STORGE-Famillial, brotherly, friend like love. EROS-Romantic love. February’s three featured books each reflect one of those words.

The three books that are featured for January are all authored by Sidney Watson.
Although the novel Scarlet and Purple – a study of souls and signs – is set in the early 20th century Britain, it could very easily be today’s America.
It is the story of artist Jack Quentin’s spiritual journey as he strives to make his painting of the crucifixion … perfect. He talks about what it really means to be a Christian and the best way to live the Christian life.
The other two novels, In the Twinkling of an Eye and The Mark of the Beast relate to the rapture and the horrors of the tribulation period.
