When I entered Moody Bible Institute at age 18, I took a test to check my ability to write. And I flunked! You see, I had a hard time with the King’s English. My dad always said things like “I was” and “We done it!” His English was bad and his German was worse. So, I developed some bad habits.
Each week the blog will feature a favorite book of a staff member that’s available on WORDsearch.
The best book I have read recently is Joseph from the Men of Character series by Gene Getz. It’s a great Bible study manual, and it’s written in that creative leader building style that Gene has been known for over the past five decades.
I love biographies, I love to read how people overcome adversity and I love to learn stuff. I also relate to Joseph’s trials. I was the last of five brothers, who all shared one bedroom. I was seven years younger than the closest brother next to me, and I was also a victim of older sibling torture.
This book has renewed my spirit again and again and has reminded me how using biblical principals instead of fights can produce better relationships and champion over any attacks and trials in my life.
