Current reads:

• When the Noise Won't Stop - A Christian guide to dealing with anxiety
  So far quite easily digestable. Especially picked this book up as I was thinking of some friends who particularly struggle with anxiety.

• The Trellis and the Vine - The ministry mind-shift that changes everything
  Borrowed a copy of the bookshelf I built at church (yay winning). So far its mostly things I know given my context. I guess I am highly invested into local church and how 'good', 'healthy', ministry can/should/does look like as I think about what the idea of being the (ordinary) faithful and fruitful Christian.

I also bought a stack of Crossway ebooks from an ozBargain deal last Janurary 🤓. I've loaded them onto a Kobo Clara HD e-reader that I got off ebay (used) 👍🏼👍🏼
