paperbackFollowing Jesus in the "Real World"
Discipleship for the Post-College Years
by Richard C. Lamb Jr.
What does it mean to follow Jesus after college?

Scripture, History and Seasoned Practices
by Don Little
Muslims who come to Christ face momentous spiritual, psychological and social obstacles that drive many to abandon their faith.
