There is some good news coming out of the hurricane disaster recovery areas. Some of those stories are recorded in two recently released books:
Voices of Hope in the Midst of the Storm, edited by TLGC Synod pastors John and Robin McCullough Bade. The book is a collection of sermons and reflections on the storms (available from www.futurewithhopepress.org.)
The other is God In the Raging Waters, written by Bishop Paul Blom and edited by Pastor Kathy Haueisen. It is an overview of how the Lutheran community has responded and is providing help, hope, and healing to those who lost so much in the storms.
The book is available from the book cart in the narthex or from Augsburg Fortress.
