St. John the Evangelist - Ancient Faith, Modern Relevance

In the intervening months since the last Baker Library Book Brief much has happened. Given the construction which occurred in August, your library itself has been moved from its former location. It is now directly across the hall from our new church office space. Additional shelving was provided as we relocated the library. Also, we have finally accomplished the major goal of providing a commentary on each book of the Bible. As well, we have received a sizable gift of books from a former parishioner. Many of these volumes are quite valuable and will be added to our collection.

It may be true that "the writing of many books is endless, and excessive devotion to books is wearying to the body (Ecclesiastes 12:12)." However, it’s also true that for "every thing there is a season (Ecclesiastes 3:1) and that we should delight to do God’s will and His "law should be within our hearts (Psalm 40:8)."
