The Kerith
Library

We keep these books stocked in our retreat library because they are among our favorite go-to resources for spiritual formation, devotional reading, and following Jesus in everyday life.

We encourage anyone desiring to grow deeper in their faith to grow in knowledge and wisdom.  These books can be an important component in that process, along with regular in-person involvement in a local church community -- worship services, small groups, serving, outreach.  The New Testament is clear that community -- even with its difficulties -- is integral to the Christian faith.
