| Outlook special GA subscription |

 As you make plans to prepare your commissioners and delegates for the 222nd General Assembly, I hope you will consider using the Presbyterian Outlook as one of your resources. We already have content on our website addressing the possible plans to restructure our denomination, articles both in favor and opposed to overtures that propose changes in how we operate on a General Assembly level, and information on the candidates for moderator and co-moderator. Please access these freely! 
Additionally, we are planning print issues that will address the major topics coming before the 222nd GA. We strive to make sure our coverage is balanced and informed. We seek to have writers from a variety of perspectives and we encourage rich conversation through letters, email and social media.

Hamilton, Adam. Half Truths: God Helps Those Who Help Themselves and Other Things the Bible Doesn't Say. Abingdon Press, ©2016.
(
230 Hamilton. Also available: separate DVD, & Leader Guide) True or false: 1. Everything happens for a reason. 2. God helps those who help themselves. 3. God won't give you more than you can handle. 4. God said it, I believe it, that settles it. 5. Love the sinner, hate the sin. We've heard these phrases all of our lives. Adam Hamilton discusses how they capture some element of truth, but when compared to the wisdom found in Scripture, they're really just common Christian clichés. A five-week, DVD study for small groups is also available, and a separate Leader Guide is designed for a 6-week study, including session plans and discussion questions, as well as multiple format options. The guide centers on the book, videos, and Scripture.
