A Trash Book

After reading two pages of the book, Tired of Trying to Measure Up, West Shore’s Kim Winters tossed it in the trash. Too difficult to read, believe, and follow its advice on changing.

But for some reason – God’s reason – she bought another copy and dragged her soul through its revelations about “shame-based and/or performance-oriented system of coping with life.” Hear what Kim discovered here. Then get yourself a copy – maybe two -- in the church bookstore.

Be sure to check out all the BookSnip reviews by West Shore folks of other books you’ll want to read this summer.

A Week of Fun, Frenzy . . . and Future

They chased each other down and then, as one teen gleefully reported, “smathered one another with icky gooey mess” (shaving cream) before being “sprayed off with a fire hose.” They played chubba-chubba-can-can, talked endlessly into the night—asking those tough questions about life prayed, worshipped, and then came home different. That was the typically untypical week at Harvey Cedars for Junior Highers. Wish you had been there? Well, maybe not for you adults. But now you have to see their exploits in this clever video by the creative Wesley Dietz.

Sure, I Love You

In this sermon, former Associate Pastor Steve Musser takes on the often overwhelming, always trying, and, for some, ever-present issue of suffering and sacrifice. He traces Peter's struggle with loving Jesus enough to give himself up, and looks at David's long road of suffering until he relinquished himself to God.

Somewhat of a Square Peg

Florence Johnson is a likable person. She would fit in anywhere. But growing up, six years of which were in Honduras where her missionary parents served, she somehow didn't quite fit in. That's an interesting story in itself but what's just as fascinating is her life-struggle views from her experiences, and especially from her experiences as a missionary with husband Dale in Burkina Faso. Read about her life here and her perspective here.
