June 26 | Eager to Love: The Alternative Way of Francis of Assisi by Richard Rohr
When we allow the truth that God’s love for us is unconditional to permeate our lives, we desire to share God’s love. As the desire to share God’s love grows in our hearts, we are led towards service for and charity towards each other.
July 31 | A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle
This is a great book for adults, teens, and older children. All are welcome to discuss this book.
This fantastical, time-traveling adventure throws our main characters into conflicts of love, divinity, and goodness as they wrestle with spirituality and purpose. As they encounter good and evil, our protagonists must embrace love and courage to overcome darkness and save their father.
August 28 | The Gift of Restlessness: A Spirituality for Unsettled Seasons by Casey Tygrett
Could moments of tension and restlessness actually be sacred? Casey Tygrett argues that they’re not only sacred but places of divine encounter. Transformation happens not by escaping our restlessness but by remaining in it with awareness, spiritual practices, and a willingness to be formed by God.
