I've been making my way through two books recently. One is The Care of Souls by Harold L. Senkbeil, which has been challenging and encouraging in thinking about caring for others spiritually. I've also been working through Biblical Theology by the late Geerhardus Vos, which explores the unfolding mind of God in history by looking at the successive agents of special revelation.
