SPECIAL NOTE: Spring 2010, in the church library, a shelf has been designated for books by BEN WITHERINGTON, III. It can be found on the wall between the library and our classroom -- how appropriate! Top shelf, to the right of the reference section, marked BEN WITHERINGTON, III COLLECTION.
January, 2012 -- NOTE: w/the renovation of the library, I will need to update where the Witherington Collection will be housed. Look for an update in early February.
