Into Your Hands, Father - Book Study
ComeFollow.Me
Join Eric Gallagher in daily reflections on the book Into Your Hands, Father: Abandoning Ourselves to the God Who Loves Us. We'll take small sections (2-3 pages) of the book each day (Monday-Friday) throughout the season of Lent. Along with the reading, Eric will offer a short reflection sharing stories and wisdom of how he has seen this text come alive in his own life and in the lives of those he's accompanied over the years. Also, each day we'll encourage you to join in a discussion by offering a few thoughts on the readings as well.
