Through the month of July, the singles’ ministry will be reading Prepared to Answer by Gordon Ferguson. From the book jacket:

Doctrine is important to anyone intent on pleasing God and helping others to please God, but we must maintain the proper balance. Religion without doctrine is like a human body without a skeletal system. Try to have the right life without doctrine, and you will end up with some sort of mushy moralism that will neither help people nor please God. On the other hand, become a doctrinal expert and give no attention to your own inner person – your heart and your attitudes – and you will do more harm than good. Prepared to Answer is designed to help us be confident and knowledgable without being arrogant.

Brennan has ordered the book.  Please see her to request a copy.
