Our friends at Facts and Trends Online here in the communications department have put together some fun and informative Easter resources that might just add that extra "something" to church newsletters or bulletins, provide an activity for Sunday School or small groups, or give some personal enjoyment for individuals as well. Here are some of the Easter themed options:

Rob Phillips ~ I'm reading Whosoever Will: A Biblical-Theological Critique of Five-Point Calvinism. Although I made the decision to pick up this book, I can't escape the nagging conviction that it was somehow determined that I would read it.
Kelly Shrout ~ I'm working on Bringing Up Boys by James Dobson, and 52 Simple Ways to Say 'I Love You' by Stephen Arterburn. I'm just learning more about the importance of teaching my son well.
Katie Shull ~ I usually only read on vacation or something when I have a big block of time to do it -- mainly because I can't stand having to pick up a book and put it down all the time! I DO, however, read the Bible & my Sunday school lesson & my Mission Friends book. :)
Brooklyn Lowery ~ All I've read over the last few weeks is a dissertation on BMP signaling and critical reviews/articles about Thomas Morton for my final paper. Let's be clear though, I only edited that dissertation for grammatical accuracy ... I have no idea what it actually said. :)
Polly House ~ I'm still reading Crazy Love with my church small group. We will finish this week! In addition, I'm reading Influencing like Jesus by Michael Zigarelli, which presents 15 ways to influence people and change their minds, even if they are resistant to change. For my neighborhood book group, I'm just starting Children of Men, a science fiction mystery, by P.D. James.
Jennfier Tramel ~ I'm reading through Kevin Leeman's The Birth Order Book. I was introduced to the book in college when I took interpersonal communications and psychology of gender. I'm the eldest of four in my home, and according to my interpersonal professor, I'm a classic, textbook people pleasing eldest female child. She often would use me as an example in class and yes, it was embarrassing. All fun aside though, this book really had a lot of truth to it. It's taught understanding, not only in my siblings, but in every relationship in my life. I recommend highly.
Micah Carter ~ Just started The Exemplary Husband by Stuart Scott. Very good book so far ... challenging and encouraging. I'll take as much help and advice for being a godly husband as I can get!
