Take a Reading Break

Turn off the Tech and Pick up a Good Book!

by Tim Severance, Associate Minister

In the KCC church lobby is a current selection of good, quality reads. Among those books are, of course, the Bible. You’ll find the new NIV version of the Bible (2011) in normal and large print in our book carousel. If you’ve ever wondered why when you hear the NIV read, it doesn’t match with your version, it is because the 2011 version of the NIV is being used. And you thought upgrades were only for software! Some of the Bibles available include: NIV Study Bible, The Life Recovery Bible (NLT), Life Application Bible, Teen Study Bible, and many more.

Happy, Happy, Happy by Phil Robertson has been #1 on the New York Times Bestseller list and it currently still in the top ten. Phil is the patriarch of the Robertson family seen weekly on A&E’s Duck Dynasty. He’s the creator of Duck Commander duck calls. But most importantly, Phil is a follower of God and a man of faith. “In the pages of this book, you’ll learn of Phil’s colorful past and his wild road to the ‘happy, happy, happy’ life he leads today. In this eye-opening and rousing book, you’ll find stories that will shock you, as well as those that will inspire you. You’ll get to know the man behind the legend, and you’ll come away better for it.”

No More Perfect Moms by Jill Savage is a transparent confession of the reality that all moms struggle with the idea of perfection. They struggle to be the perfect woman, perfect wife, perfect mom, with perfect children, and a perfect husband. Jill hopes this book will help every mom change her unrealistic expectations to realistic hope, give grace to her family members, and find freedom from disappointment.  

The Sunday Small Group “No More Perfect Moms” meets every week in the Green Room at 10:00 AM led by Emily Paulus.  “I love this book...but I hate it...because it’s convicting!” confessed Emily in talking about the book used in conjunction with the group. Pick up your copy in the church lobby and check out the group this week!

The Story is the complement book to our current Sermon Series at KCC - The Story. The Story includes excerpts from the NIV (2011) version of the Bible with occasional transitional remarks from Randy Franzee, Senior Minister at Oak Hills Church in San Antonio, Texas. The Story streamlines the Bible reading like a novel covering Genesis to Revelation in 31 condensed chapters. The Story is still available at a 75% discount, or $5.00, in our church lobby. Makes a great Christmas gift!

The prices for these and all other books in the church lobby are marked on the bottom of the back cover. You’ll find that these prices are the lowest anywhere. The church makes no profit from the sale of these books but provides them as a benefit to you as you take steps in your Christian walk.
