Look no further than your church library. “Bringing your Faith to Work” by Norman L Geisler and Randy Douglass will give you answers for those break-room skeptics. In Part One you will review the Biblical standard of being salt and light. In Part Two you will read common questions you may be asked and the appropriate responses. With acrostics, checklists and digging deeper sections you will be guided through tough questions in the workplace and beyond. You can find it in the Apologetics 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.
