St Joe Community Church appreciates the work of organizations like Advance America, who help represent the interests and concerns of families and children in the public arena, especially before local, state and national government institutions. One of AA's helpful resources is its annual voter guide that helps voters understand contemporary issues and the diversity of opinions held by elected officials and candidates.
The voter guide is a non-partisan educational tool, meaning that the guide does not endorse a candidate or party. St Joe Community Church does not endorse candidates or political party affiliations, and voters use this resource according to the dictates of their own conscience. |

Hi all,
Here is a list of books I have personally drawn from to develop an elephant-free home for my own family. They explain in greater detail some of the practical suggestions I mentioned in this Elephant-Free Family sermon series. Obviously, my favorite suggested resource is the Bible, which is perfect and timeless. These other books simply explain how to apply God's Word in today's language. God bless your journey towards a more holy and healthy life for yourself and future generations!
