Is God Real?: Exploring the Ultimate Question of Life, by Lee Stobel.
Do you ever feel ill-equipped when facing challenging questions about the nature or existence of God? This class will explore Lee Strobel’s book Is God Real?, guiding participants through evidence-based discussions on the existence of God and the truth of the Christian faith. Through study, reflection, and dialogue, we will consider how to clearly explain and confidently defend the basic tenets of our faith when questioned by others. Wherever you find yourself on your faith journey, Strobel—former atheist and law-trained journalist—offers a thoughtful examination of the questions and responses surrounding one of life’s most consequential issues: Is God real?

The Garden Within: Where the War with Your Emotions Ends and Your Most Powerful Life Begins, by Dr. Anita Phillips.
Too often, we’ve been taught to view our emotions with suspicion—to suppress, manage, or master. Yet emotions are not the enemy; they are an intentional part of how we were created. In this book, trauma therapist and mental health expert Dr. Anita Phillips demonstrates how embracing our emotional lives is central to living with strength and purpose. Using the image of a garden, she reminds us that just as good soil allows growth, the abundant life we seek can only take root in the soil of the heart. Drawing on faith, current discoveries in neurobiology, and her own clinical research, Dr. Anita Phillips presents a pathway toward emotional wellbeing that supports physical health, helps reverse the effects of trauma, calms anxiety, renews the mind, and opens the way to deeper spiritual vitality.
