The World’s Largest Library

April 25, 2017 By Julie Klassen

I love libraries. I’m guessing you do, too. And recently, I had a chance to visit the world’s largest library with two other Inspired by Life and Fiction authors.

He knew what it would cost. And I can only begin to imagine what he felt in that moment to know that he’d fully glorified the Father, that he’d sealed our redemption, that he’d done exactly what he’d come to do. What … [Read more...]
