Pastor’s Picks – Recommended Resources
These are recommended resources that we have been personally encouraged and challenged by and hope they do the same for you. It’s been said before that great leaders are readers, and we are committed to regularly reading through our Bible and never stop learning. May the Lord bless you as you grow! -Pastor Tim Molter
Movie: The Drop Box
We usually post a recommend book but this month we are posting a recommend movie. The Drop Box is a heart-touching documentary that tells the remarkable true story of a courageous pastor named Lee Jong-rak. After finding an abandoned infant on his doorstep in the winter, Pastor Lee built a special drop box to keep any future findings safe. Over the past decade, Pastor Lee has rescued hundreds of babies who would have otherwise been abandoned on the streets of Seoul, South Korea.
The Drop Box is a powerful documentary and a real story of hope and love! Every life is valuable and precious from God, and it is our desire that you will be inspired to really live for the Lord by witnessing the love of God through the life of Pastor Lee.

Book: Strengthening Your Marriage by Wayne Mack
God designed marriage to be a relationship of deep unity and strength. Despite the challenges that couples face today, having harmony in marriage is not be considered an impossible ideal. Wayne A. Mack recognizes the challenges before us, and shows us how to meet those challenges with growing success.
Mack’s biblically-based approach to marriage offers practical insights on God’s design for marriage, marital roles (his and hers), communication (conflict management skills), finances (budgeting), sex (oneness and intimacy), child rearing (parenting), family worship (discipleship), and more.
This book is a guide for husbands and wives or those engaged to be married soon and is intended for couples to complete together. This book offers true hope and help where couples need it most. Also at Calvary Chapel Fergus Falls we also use this book for our Premarital Classes, and highly recommend it.
