0:00.0	Hey everybody. Before we get started I just wanted to tell you about a new book from
0:04.4	Faith Matters Publishing. It's called Restoration by Patrick Mason. When we started the
0:08.8	Faith Matters Publishing project one of our goals was to explore what
0:11.9	restoration really means as the church moves into its third century
0:15.2	and that's exactly what Patrick does. If you're like me and you've ever wondered how restoring Israel
0:19.9	can be relevant to you, you've got to read this book. Patrick shows how as members of the
0:24.4	church it's our mission to truly lead out in bringing wholeness and healing to the

0:36.0	I really can't recommend this book strongly enough.
0:38.5	It's the kind of book you want everyone you know to be reading to so that you can talk about it. So you can pick up a copy for
0:43.9	yourself or for your friends and family at Desert Book, Amazon, Audible, and Apple
0:48.3	Books. Okay that's it on the book for now but we'll be sharing a lot more in the
0:51.5	near future. Thanks as always and here's the episode.
