Recommended Books and Study Guides

We have compiled the following list with two purposes in mind: (1) To encourage individuals in our church family, and (2) to assist community group leaders and DNA group leaders in their equipping and shepherding responsibilities. In short, these are great resources for individual study or for leading and equipping a group of believers. Many of these titles are also available in the Kaleo Library.
