“Happy is the man who finds wisdom and the man who gains understanding” (Prov. 3:13

Greetings from your Spring Hills Baptist church library staff. We have new information for you about the library. The format of the set-up of adult books has been changed. In order to facilitate a faster selection of a desired book. The following alteration has been made:

A.     Instead of searching through all of the non-fiction publications for a particular topic, the books have been categorized into the following subjects:

1.      Christian Living

2.      Faith

3.      Self-Help

4.      Missionaries

5.      Biographies

6.      Fiction

B.     The reference book (blue cover) on the table to your left as you enter the library, lists the books by subject, alphabetically by book title and author and is also numerically by Dewey decimal number. 

There is no change in the videos, cassettes, CDs, and children’s books.

Missing Items from the Library

Currently, we have 94 books, 64 videos, 18 cassettes and one CD that have been taken out of the library and not returned. Many of these items are several months late. Some have been out for a couple of years. We ask that you be good stewards of the items in the library and return them so that others may have an opportunity to view, listen or read them.

Please check around your home to see if you have any missing items from the library and return them in the slot next to the library door.

Cassettes

Adult Books 

Refuting Evolution Book 1 & 2 (Sarfati, Jonathan) – Today’s mindset that evolution, though unproven, is the only answer to the question of human origins, has resulted in the unfathomable violence and aimless culture we live in today. Refuting Evolution 1&2 shake off the debris of hopeless, unsubstantiated theory, and shine a light of educational freedom where it is desperately needed. 

Sins of a Father – Kitty Chappell’s story is extraordinary not because of its anguish, but because against all logic, she has emerged whole. In the process that led to her healing, Kitty reveals her stalemate with God, her deep distrust of men, and how she came to a new understanding of what forgiveness means. She believes that, regardless of our pasts, the choice to forgive is before us all, with the power to destroy us or set us free.

Starlight and Time (Dr. Russell Humphreys) – The Bible says the universe is just thousands of years old, and yet we can see stars that are billions of light-years away. Until now, creation scientists have not had a satisfactory answer to this puzzle, but the new cosmology outlines in this book offer a fresh and scientifically sound solution. Though Dr. Humphreys challenges some traditional creationist theories, he takes Scripture very straightforwardly, upholding its inerrancy and the idea of a young universe as he explains days one through four of creation week.  

The Lie: Evolution (Ken Ham) – The Bible prophetically warns that in the last days false teachers will introduce destructive lies among the people. Such a lie is among us. That lie is evolution! According to Ken Ham, the book of Genesis is the key to defending your faith and exposing the lie of evolution. 

The Great Dinosaur Mystery Solved (Ken Ham) – A dinosaur book like you’ve never seen before? Not only is the “dinosaur mystery” solved, but you’ll be taught the TRUE history of the earth and its inhabitants! You thinking about this world will never be the same again. 

Why Won’t They Listen? (Ken Ham) – Ken Ham presents an ambitious plan to fulfill the great commission. He deftly exposes the great flaws of Darwinism, and shows how compromise with the philosophy of death is killing the Church. By urging Christians to stand on the veracity of the Bible, Ham clears the jungle of tangled views of reality, and helps committed Christians see the path of effective evangelism.

One Blood (Ken Ham, Carl Wieland and Don Batten) What does race really mean? Are there really multiple races of humans and where did this concept originate? One Blood provides a real solution to ethnic hatred. You will see the explosive debate in a whole new, startling light.
