Twin Oaks has its own well-stocked library, located down the hall from the sanctuary narthex.  With over 11,000 titles, our library exists to help members and friends of the church grow in their Christian faith by providing materials for all ages that are appropriate and biblically based.  All members of Twin Oaks and regular attendees are invited to use the library by filling out a library card. 

What's New in the Library (6/24/10)

For those of you who enjoyed hearing Michael Milton a few months ago during Missions Week: we now have two (almost three) of his titles. We have Small Things, Big Things, a devotional look at the Christian life, and Cooperation without Compromise, about religious pluralism and ministering in those kinds of situations where that is an issue (such as being a military chaplain). We have on order his autobiography, What God Starts, God Completes. Rev. Milton came from a highly dysfunctional family and writes about how the Lord has brought him to Himself. This could be of help to many people struggling with this kind of background.  Ask for it—we will have this very shortly!!

Other new items in the library: many CDs by Charles Swindoll, along with CDs by other well-known speakers such as John MacArthur, John Piper, and Andy Stanley. Great for summer travelling!  Don’t forget our large collection of Christian music CDs of all types too, and books on CD (our latest:  Randy Singer’s Irreparable Harm and Dayna Curry & Heather Mercer’s Prisoners of Hope; these two young women were imprisoned in Afghanistan in 2001).  New books include two books in Charles Swindoll’s Great Lives from God’s Word series:  Elijah and Paul.  We have two new books by Wayne Grudem that take a critical look at gender-neutral Bible translations.  Two new books on Mormonism are entitled Mormonism 101 and Reasoning from the Scriptures with the Mormons.  Billy Graham’s latest book is The Journey: How to Live by Faith in an Uncertain World.

Some of you may remember the Leutwiler family from Covenant Church.  One of the daughters, Carolyn, has written a book called Singleness Redefined: Living Life to the Fullest.  Carol attends Covenant Theological Seminary.  Previously, she worked in children’s ministries at Tim Keller’s church in New York City.  Another book, by Miriam Neff, may be helpful for widows and is entitled From One Widow to Another.  I highly recommend this book and hope to pass it around in our new ministry, Widow’s Heart Connection, which is starting up in a couple months.  If you have any questions about this ministry, please see me (Paige Reynolds) in the library!
