Library Recommendation of the Week – “Please Sorry Thanks” – The best predictor of success in life, in love, and in leadership is your proficiency at please, sorry, and thanks. Those three words are the foundation of all healthy relationships and successful careers. Those three words are the only ceiling on achieving your dreams. Those three words will determine how happy you are. With his trademark blend of personal stories, scientific and historical references, and biblical insight, Pastor Mark Batterson explores the psychology of please, the science of sorry and the theology of thanks. Whether you’re launching out into a new phase of life or navigating long-established complexities, learn how these three magic words hold the power to shape your world for good and let them propel you as you go where God leads you to go. You can find this book in the Christian Living section of the library or ask the librarian.
 
LIBRARY HOURS: Sundays 9:15am-10:15am, Tuesdays 9-11am (during Bible Study) & Wednesdays 5-7pm.
