Theologian Peter Kreeft has said, "We all stand on the shoulders of giants, so choose your giants carefully." The following websites are also good places for encouragement and direction on our Christian journey:

1. The next time I grieve the loss of someone close to me, I am rereading TAKE AWAY THE STONE by Pastor Alan Sommer.  It can be ordered at:
   www.sommerbooks.com
2. Mark Hollenbeck is an artist-in-resident in Denver, CO.  He won so many street-art awards that they hired him to feature his work annually.  Some beautiful Christian artwork can be ordered at his website, Drawing on the Truth:
