Anthem Essays
Over the last few months I’ve had the chance to teach some bright up and coming leaders in our church. They are all a part of our Anthem program, a School of Ministry that trains up young leaders to be launched out into ministry and further education. We walked through a book by AW Tozer called "Knowledge of the Holy". It’s a must read if you want a deeper understanding of the character of God. Their final assignment was an essay about their learnings and bellow are some of my favorite quotes. Well done Class of ’08!
