Posted on Tuesday, May 1, 2018 by Jill Printzenhoff For this month’s B&H Book Review I chose Becoming a Welcoming Church by Thom S. Rainer. Typically I do not begin a post with the words ~ this is a must read for church leaders. However, this small volume contains insightful content that I believe is…
Tuesday, January 23, 2018 Pastoral Theology – A B&H Book Review by Jill Printzenhoff For this month’s B & H Book Review post I selected Daniel L. Akin and R. Scott Pace’s book titled Pastoral Theology. I opted to review this book for several reasons: I’m in my second year of graduate school pursuing a…

This post contains comments about the books I read during that month. 1. Home by Julie Andrews: Several years ago, my oldest daughter gifted me this book for my…
Funny. Witty. Easy to read and dotted with a southern drawl. I loved this book! In Giddy Up, Eunice, Sophie Hudson takes a look at the relationships between Mary and Elizabeth, Ruth and Naomi, and Lois and Eunice.
