Featured Event: Book Signing with Author Alex W. Foley for his FIRST BOOK "Heroes Kneel"

Thursday April 24th - Saturday April 26th

4/24 10am-1pm at 907 Main Street Grinnell

4/25 10am-1pm at 14 West Main Street Marshalltown

4/26 at 117 S Market Street Oskaloosa 10am - 4pm

Heroes Kneel by Alex W. Foley unpacks God's concept of a hero and what it takes to live like one. Foley puts famous Old Testament characters under the microscope to reveal the poison of selfishness, the power of servanthood, and how Jesus has been the Way from the beginning.

This isn't your average book about the Bible. Heroes Kneel is an urgent call to action that challenges readers to grapple with Scripture in a way that can change their world. Complete with engaging resources at the end of every chapter, Heroes Kneel will equip you to not only recognize godly heroism but put into practice the cheerful service our world desperately needs.

It's time to resurrect the awe of Scripture and zeal for selfless service in the church. Become the hero God created you to be by exploring Scripture, admiring Christ, and aspiring to serve like Him.
