This book takes a journey through the entire New Testament explaining passages in simple ways. Taking a few verses up to a few chapters at a time the author encourages the reader to read the Bible and then apply what was read.

William Carey lived from 1761-1834 and is often known as “the father of modern missions”. His daring adventures from England to India show his dedication to God and love for His people.
This story directly affected my family 150 years after the events in William’s life. My sister felt God calling her to Bangladesh and now she has been teaching at the William Carey Academy for more than 15 years. After reading this book I was excited to think what God has planned for those who are faithful.

In the heart of the CCS North Campus library is a novel set during the 1930’s Depression in the fictitious town of Maycomb, Alabama. Maycomb was an old, dusty, poor town, where very little happened to interrupt the quiet life of its population. Quiet, that is, until an unspeakable crime takes place that sets this little town “on its ear.”

Across Five Aprils, by author Irene Hunt, is a classic American novel of family relationships tested by the ravages of the Civil War. The novel features Jethro Creighton, youngest son of a rural Illinois farm family, who wrestles with his own understanding of the Civil War.
The novel is a coming-of-age story set in a very difficult time in American history. If you enjoy war stories, you will enjoy and be moved to tears by the Irene Hunt novel.

Understanding the Times is a giant of a book all about worldviews. It looks very intimidating because of its size (800+ pgs.), but is well worth the investment of time. This is a book for study and so can be taken in chapters or sections at a time. The value of this book is found in a deeper respect for biblical truth, insights into the viewpoints that oppose Biblical Christian values, and tools for defending one’s faith in the midst of so many current controversial issues.
A challenging and beneficial book!

A few years ago, I purchased What’s So Amazing About Grace? and found it: absorbing, instructive, moving, insightful, just a great book. I loaned it out and ended up giving it away. Imagine my delight in finding it at the Champion library.
I will be rereading it this summer.

This book is a tremendous help to both youth workers and parents. It offers clear insight into the world of teenagers. Walt Mueller’s dissection and analysis of popular culture gives an understanding of the rapidly changing climate in which ministry to teen must be done.
