+<h2>Learn With Us</h2>
+
+<p>
+  There is an ocean of resources about missions, technology, faith and work,
+  theology…the list of topics goes on and on. If you’re like us, life is busy
+  and you can’t read everything. We’ve curated a shortlist that we hope
+  illuminates a trusted pathway through the sea of options. Or at least it can
+  serve as a good starting point.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+  These resources have also formed and shaped Upstream. We’ve allowed these
+  books to influence how we think and approach ministry. In this sense, the list
+  also gives a bit of a behind the scenes look into who we are and what we
+  value.
