Welcome to the Library!

Hello, friend!
Welcome to the Refuge Cabin and Abba's Heart Chapel. 

I see you've reached the library! These books have been chosen with care; are old friends I've sat with over the years that have helped to shape my personal journey, and I hope they will help yours too. 

A quick guideline: 
The "must read books" may be taken to your cabins to read, since we have multiple copies. The other books must be kept in the chapel, since some are older volumes and must be treated with care. Please return a book where you found it.

Soaking Music
We love Alberto and Kimberly Rivera's music and use it as soaking music in the chapel. Scroll to see our favorite playlists, and feel free to support them by purchasing their music on iTunes!

Enjoy!
