Because summer is fading and fall is right around the corner, it's time to say goodbye to Summer Picks! We've enjoyed sharing unique, quality resources to help you grow your faith on the go this summer. Start the fall season right by making Scripture a part of your daily routine. We invite you back next week on Monday, August 5th for the return of Daily Devos!

Lee’s Summer Picks  

• Favorite Thing About Summer: Yard work with family, afternoon pool plunge, wakeboarding, eating and picking fresh vegetables, slow afternoons, homemade ice cream, late-night movies, snow cone runs, and morning coffee with Elizabeth
• Summer Reading Pick: Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer
  
• Why recommend this book? I am learning how to slow down, enjoy rich relationships, and find what a Sabbath looks like - to REST.

• Summer Resource Pick: SOAP Method and Bible Reading Plan  
  
• How do you use these resources? To stay in the Word each morning, I use the SOAP method and a Bible reading plan. I find a scripture, observe what it says, try to apply it to my life, and then spend some time in prayer about it.
