Once again, we have two excellent books for your reading enjoyment and education this summer!
- Tuesday, June 29: Open and Unafraid: The Psalms as a Guide to Lifeby W. David O. Taylor. “The book of Psalms has been central to God’s people for millennia, across all walks of life and cultural contexts.In it, we learn about prayer and poetry, honesty and community, justice and enemies, life and death, nations and creation. Open and Unafraid shows us how to read the psalms in a fresh, life-giving way, and so access the bottomless resources for life that they provide.”
RSVP here for the Open and Unafraid book discussion.
- Sunday, August 15: Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life by Anne Lamott. “For a quarter century, more than a million readers—scribes and scribblers of all ages and abilities—have been inspired by Anne Lamott’s hilarious, big-hearted, homespun advice.” The title implies the book is for writers, but artists of all kinds will benefit from Anne Lamott’s wisdom and experience about making art.
RSVP here for the Bird by Bird book discussion.
Book clubs will meet at Christ Church in the large meeting room at 7:30pm. Masks optional.
Both books are available at the library in paper form and/or audio and e-book, or you can purchase your own copy wherever books are sold. I recommend Better World Books for used copies at great prices, often with free shipping.
