Book club

Our book club meets approximately every other month by Zoom.  We have been focusing on works that explore the intersection between social issues and our faith. Our recent books have included The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks (by Rebecca Skloot), Wholehearted Faith (by Rachel Evans with Jeff Chu), Mountains Beyond Mountains (by Tracy Kidder), Just Mercy (by Bryan Stevenson), The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek (by Kim Michele Richardson), Long Way Down (by Jason Reynolds), and There Will Be No Miracles Here (by Casey Gerald). 

Most recently we read Poverty, by America (by Matthew Desmond).  Just out March 21, Poverty, By America is already a #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER. The Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Evicted reimagines the debate on poverty, making a “provocative and compelling” (NPR) argument about why it persists in America: because the rest of us benefit from it. 

We have not decided on a book and date (likely August) for the next discussion.  If you are interested in being on the mailing list for the book club, please contact Mother Carol.
