Library News
There is no
deeper, more intense human longing than the longing to know
God is real and to "see Him face to face." While in human
terms, this isn't possible, having a personal relationship
with God is synonymous with being a Christian. Jim Stafford
felt the desire for more of God. All who struggle to know
God will find help and encouragement from Knowing the Face
of God, the moving record of his quest for a greater
relationship. Grace, our feature this month.
