Library Recommendation of the Week Want to learn how Jesus is touching hearts? ‘Forbidden Miracles’ by Mina Nevisa is the unforgettable sequel to her bestselling autobiography ‘Miracle of Miracles’ which details her conversion from Islam. This book continues with the forty year saga of her devout Muslim father, the wealthy son of an Iranian Ayatollah who, at the age of 77 has a life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ. ‘Forbidden Miracles’ exposes the lies and deceptions of Islam as well as the redeeming work of the Lord. It is a compelling story and a wake up call for Christians, Muslims and anyone facing or considering religious persecution. You will be inspired by the remarkable ways God makes himself known. You can find it in the biography section of the library or you can ask the librarian.
 
LIBRARY HOURS Sundays 9:15am-10:15am, Tuesdays 9-11am (during Bible Study) & Wednesdays 5-7pm.
 
Valentine Tracts are available at the Tract Rack.
