Read for the Kingdom! Reading Widely as Practice for Deepening Discipleship | Byron Borger
ORDER BOOKS: www.heartsandmindsbooks.com
The Jubilee Conference has long invited students to take seriously the Lordship of Christ over all of life. In every zone of culture and every corner of our lives, we can live out the story of God's love for the world and play our part creating signposts of the Kingdom. Reading has always been a key Christian discipline but now, more than ever, books are tools for changing the world. Come be inspired to read more and grow your faith, living into the Jubilee vision, nurturing the Christian mind. Our conference bookseller is eager to share a theology of reading, ideas about how to become a better reader, and answer questions about what to read next.
