Thank you Cori for hosting book group last week, and Leslee for leading the discussion.
Here is the list of books for the next few months. We still need a few discussion leaders. It's not hard...I promise! Let me know if you would like to volunteer.
Our September book is Mary, Martha & Me by Camille Fronk Olson. We will meet at 8:30pm on Thursday, September 2nd at Amy Bench's house. Lacey Schofield will lead the discussion.
Summary of the book:
When someone says, "She is a Martha-type," we know just what that means: a woman who is practical, competent, down-to-earth. We understand that Marthas are certainly useful and necessary, but it's usually Mary that gets the halo. Author Camille Fronk Olson brings unique insights and perspectives to the biblical story of two sisters, Mary and Martha, who serve Jesus in different ways. Exploring the mixed messages in daily life, she discusses the motives and focus that determine our choices and the problem of comparing our gifts and contributions to others. In her warm, engaging style, the author brings to light the lessons Mary and Martha learn from each other and the "one thing [that] is needful" for both.
Since this is a church book, it will need to be ordered, or possibly purchased at Debbie's Beehive in Springdale. You can find used copies on Amazon.com starting at $3.09
