The Canteen #228 Return to Holiness (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A comeback without a win is just a nice story nobody reads. In the final installment of our series through Ezra, we discover that finishing the comeback God has called us to requires more than rebuilding our circumstances, it requires a return to holiness.
