Several books are being donated to our library:
The Hole in my Story, by Enid Miller Schloneger (mother of Mark Schloneger). Born with a cleft palate and unable to speak clearly, the author shares the emotional anguish of being taunted and rejected as a child and how those wounds can linger well after physical ones have healed. In the midst of her struggles, she finds refuge on her family farm in Smithville, Ohio, and is offered solace by caring teachers, compassionate church members, loyal friends, a loving family and a living faith. As an adult, she experiences healing and fulfillment through her roles as a wife, mother, nurse, pastor and hospice chaplain.
Gray Matter, by David Levy, M.D. who decided to ask his patients whether he could pray with them prior to surgery but had no idea what to expect. While some patients found comfort in Levy’s request, others were skeptical or even downright hostile. But in the end, everyone–even the good doctor himself–was transformed by the experience.

They also lead him to a truth that will change his life–forever.
