Summer Book Recommendations

Culturally Engaged

Have you been keeping up with the Grace Church Members podcast? The most recent episode highlights a diverse list of summer reading recommendations from 13 of our incredible staff members! We’ve included everything from biographies to historical fiction and fantasy, southern gothic mystery and liturgy, and of course some strong Christian reads as well. We hope you find something to read on your own or with your family!

We’ve also been busy over the past few months sharing stories from Front Porch Housing, Kenya, and an episode on Lifelong Learning with Mike Chibarro. Click below to check out recent episodes on our website, or listen on your favorite podcast platform.
