My Top Five Christian Living Books of 2022
1. Good and Beautiful and Kind: Becoming Whole in a Fractured World By Rich Villodas My pastor approaches every text she preaches out of by asking, “What is the trouble here?” and then “What is the grace?” Rich Villodas, pastor of a large and diverse church in New York City, constructs his new book similarly.

Crypto offers too many benefits to throw it out as a payment mechanism.
