PRONE TO WANDER – PRAYERS OF CONFESSION AND CELEBRATION by Barbara Duguid
This collection of prayers has been a wonderful gift to the Kennedy family. They use it regularly in their family devotions, and in their personal prayers. The prayers begin with a passage of Scripture and then follow with a confession of how we have failed to obey, how Christ perfectly obeyed in our place, and then how we need His help in this area. Next is a wonderful assurance of pardon from the Scriptures. Each day Stephen finds his own heart laid bare before the Lord. More than this, he finds the hope of the gospel flooding his weary soul. Obtain your own copy and you will find the glories of the gospel on every page!
LES MISERABLES by Victor Hugo
This heart-wrenching story is classic literature because of Hugo's masterful storytelling. It grips us because it is one of the clearest depictions of law vs. grace seen in fiction. If you can press through the long descriptions of random sections of Paris or historical facts that can bog you down, you will find gems of beauty and gospel that drive Stephen to tears each time he reads this book. Watch for the law and its end. Watch for grace and its
staggeringly transformative ability. Watch for beauty and self-sacrificial love in the face of great darkness. Watch and be reminded that these are shadows that point to the gospel, our only hope.
