Start your reading now! From mid-September to mid-November, our church will have book groups for three different books. We will start sign ups for the book groups in August, but if you want to start reading now, these are the books that were decided by a planning group at our church:
Beyond the Bullet: Personal Stories of Gun Violence Aftermath by Heidi Yewman
The Rich and the Rest of Us: A Poverty Manifesto by Tavis Smiley and Cornel West
Eaarth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet by Bill McKibben
Each of these books relates to one of the three areas of focus for the Faith Action Network in the coming year: poverty, environment, and gun violence. The Faith Action Network is a state-wide coalition of faith communities seeking social change.
Book groups will be offered at several host locations with day and evening groups available so that everyone can participate.
