Our issues, Etc. August 2025 Book of the Month is Hope in the Wilderness: Practical Insights from the Book of Numbers
by R. Reed Lessing.

In-between times. You’ve likely been here too. Waiting for a new job to start. Transitioning from engaged to married. Packing up your belongings, but unable to move into that new house yet. The Book of Numbers is also about the in-between times and, most importantly, how to survive during them.

Author R. Reed Lessing helps you tackle the Book of Numbers with this chapter-by-chapter exploration in Hope in the Wilderness. With helpful maps, diagrams, and connections to the rest of the Bible, you’ll be able to understand the beauty of Numbers. A study guide is included at the back of the book to help you read this book with a small group or simply dig deeper into Lessing’s insights by yourself.

Purchase this book at the CPH website
