DigDeeper-540x303 - Copy Hello Fr-angers and St-riends,

Perhaps you’ve completed For the Life of the World: Letters to the Exiles, or maybe you’re just starting out. You might even be somewhere in the middle.

Wherever you are with the series, consider this a friendly reminder to dig deeper. Take some time to check out these great books and the field scholars that went into making FLOW. They will lead you into a more robust “wondering at God” – who he is, what he’s about, and we are in lifelong participation in his plan for all things.

Amen and amen.
