We are examining the book "Muscle and a Shovel", by Michael Shank, to encourage a greater zeal for personal work among the Christians here in Sumner. The book "Muscle and a Shovel" is a true contemporary conversion narrative. Our group will look closely at the process of this family's conversion and how they came to follow Christ. It is our aim to distribute this book and effectively reach those who read it. We will also better ground in the truth those Christians who read this book and study the scriptural arguments made in it.
