Hard-to-find books in the Library

Please take a look at the latest titles being added to the CGS Library.  Unlike the titles I usually add, the selection of books I made this time was to honor the Black Lives Matter movement.  It is intended to make available to us at CGS  many of the books currently considered to be important in helping us understand the context of what is happening in our society. By paying better attention to the voices of the BLM movement, perhaps we can become both better informed Christians and citizens of our country.  
-Paul Thomas, CGS Librarian
