Review: love Written in Stone

Posted in Reviews

love Written in Stone: Finding God’s Grace in the Boundaries He Sets by Philip Carlson, MD Philip Carlson is senior pastor of Bethany Church of Sierra Madre and practices family medicine in Pasadena. He lives with his wife, Carole, and their four children in Sierra Madre. Normally, I don’t start out a book review by talking about the author, but in this case, it’s important to note that Philip Carlson is not just a pastor, but he’s also a medical doctor.
