The Calvary Reading List


Whether it's a book, a video series, movie, or some other resource, the goal is the same for each selection: that we would have the opportunity to engage with it over the course of a month and, sometimes, be able to come together for a time of sharing and reflection.


We will have a limited amount of each selection to loan out. We also highly recommend using the local resources of the Kent District Library to borrow any books if possible! If you would like to get a discounted rate for buying one yourself, or you want to participate and need help getting a book, please do not hesitate to ask John Quist.


Want to share reflections or thoughts on a particular resource we've read? Been encouraged by a particular idea or thought from one of the resources? We'd love to hear from you!

Humility Illuminated

The Biblical Path Back to Christian Character

Dennis R. Edwards


I've been drawn to the virtue of humility recently. In particular, how we as a church, and people who call themselves followers of Jesus, do or not not exhibit this trait in our day to day lives. I’m reminded how critical this is needed in our world today. I hope we can be a church, and people, who are known for humility. This book helps point us to Jesus and be challenged. -John
