South Main Summer 2018 Reading List
Are you looking for some enriching reading for the summer? South Main's Discipleship Committee has polled our ministers and some fellow congregants to collect this terrific list of books for the upcoming vacation season. You’ll find all sorts of picks from the spiritually edifying and deeply educational to the pleasantly amusing and simply entertaining. We hope you’ll grab a few of these titles, some of which are in the church library, enjoy them this summer, and have some conversations in the upcoming months with those who have shared some of their favorite reads.
