Don't Lose What Is Already Good

Contributed by Ed Lu on Apr 21, 2023

It’s a book that’s easily lost, often ignored, hardly known, difficult to find, seldom turned (pages crisp) - some even describe it as “a hymn of hate” (NAC). Book about judgment and destruction, but don’t quit there, ...read more
