As med and grad students, we are swamped with a lot of reading to do for classes, rotations, lab, etc. However, let us be encouraged to continue in our daily Bible reading and study. The word of God is life giving bread for us to eat. It nourishes us, reminds us of who we are, who God is, and keeps our lives in the proper perspective. If we take the time to sit down to pray and read, the Lord surely will meet us and speak to us through His word.
In addition, there are many writings of the faithful that have encouraged and challenged us in our walk with the Lord. If you are interested in any of the titles listed below, send an email to phow@ to arrange for lending/borrowing.
If you have read books that have been a blessing to you and would not mind loaning them to other ECFers, please send a list to phow@.
