My name is Brodi and I am the newest member to the The Good Book Company team. I am a recent graduate from Patrick Henry College where I majored in government and political theory. I enjoyed my studies very much and still like to read philosophy and theology. A hobby of mine is painting miniatures for historical dioramas and gaming. My favorite scale to paint is 15mm because they are small enough to paint a lot of them in a short amount of time. I think my favorite part of it all is studying the history of the various periods or themes that I'm painting.
So, I have just finished my first full week here at The Good Book Company. I am very blessed to have the opportunity to work with fellow Christians in spreading God’s Word. Furthermore, I love reading books. Imagine how excited I am to sit at my desk with an entire shelf of books right next to me. I look forward to reading all these books!
I have already picked up “Gospel-Centered Life” and am enjoying it. I have read many Christian devotional-type books in the past. However, the way I can tell a good one apart from the rest is when it constantly redirects the reader to Scripture. I really appreciate the “Gospel-Centered Life” already because the amount of Scripture it has me reference as I am reading along in the book. In this way, I am constantly being taken back to Scripture, back to the breathed Word of God.
As I become more familiar with my colleagues and the mission here at The Good Book Company I am noticing a recurring theme. Let the Gospel do the talking. The elevation of the Gospel, of God’s Word, is kept at the forefront of our purpose. For this very reason, I am amazed and blessed by the interactions that I have had with my colleagues and the materials I get to work with everyday. The burden of the Gospel is a light burden indeed.
“All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:27-30
