Summer Book Club

Summer may be a break from Sunday School, but it doesn’t have to be a break from learning and exploring faith!  Join us for a book discussion led by Pastor Sellers following worship one Sunday each month.

The Screwtape Letters,    by C. S. Lewis
Best known in this generation for his Narnia series, C. S. Lewis was an imaginative and creative teacher of the faith.  A contemporary and colleague of J. R. R. Tolkien (The Lord of The Rings), Lewis dedicated this volume to him.
In this humorous Christian classic Lewis imagines a series of letters from Screwtape, an “undersecretary of the department of temptation”, to Wormwood, his nephew, and a “Junior Tempter” just learning the craft of leading people away from God and virtue.  Although the book was written during the second World War, the insights into human nature still hold true. A fun and thought provoking read.

The Power of Half : One Family’s Decision to Stop Taking and Start Giving Back,   by Kevin and Hannah Salwen
What happens when the audacious impulse to make a big difference in the world doesn’t get suppressed or ignored?  This book tells the story of an unconventional family that rose to the challenge laid down by their fourteen year old daughter, Hannah: She didn’t want to be a family that just talked about doing good, she said. She wanted to be a family that actually did something. Something BIG.
Journey with the Salwen family through a remarkable transformation as they explore their values, examine their options, and choose a new way of living with each other and the world.

Father, make us masters of ourselves
So that we might become the servants of others
Take our minds and think through them
Take our lips and speak through them
And our hearts and set them on fire.
