Drawing from her own experience of moving into a marginalized neighborhood, Martin invites readers to rethink where we believe meaningful ministry happens. It is not always reserved for churches, missions, polished ministries, or platforms. Instead, she encourages intentionality in noticing the everyday places of their lives as a place God intends ministry to occur. Sometimes ministry is showing up, listening well, and loving people right where you are planted. With her book you will learn how ordinary obedience can have eternal impact.

The Best Yes

Mr. Pen

After trying so many pens that claim to be bleed-through free for thin Bible pages, I finally found ones that actually work! Mr. Pen has become my go-to for writing notes in my Bible margins. They come in a variety of beautiful color sets and write smoothly without bleeding through delicate pages. Just a quick tip—make sure you choose the ones with the gold cap. Those are the ones that work best for this specific use.

ESV Illuminated Scripture Journal

Single-book Bible journals that pair the full text of Scripture with wide margins for personal notes, reflections, and prayer. Each volume focuses on one book of the Bible, allowing for slower, more intentional study and meditation. I used them once and now refuse to study the Bible without one!  https:///www.amazon/illuminatedscripturejournal/
