The group meets once a month, at least, and we will focus on timely issues.  If you are interested in thoughtful discussions and meeting fellow …

After reading 'The Shack' by William P. Young, I began this quarterly reading club to challenge myself to read (opposed to pacifying my mind with computers, TV, and movies). I was in the library club in elementary school, and I lost the joy of reading leisurely. 'The Shack' renewed my interest!! Most books I've read can be read within a week for those who make reading a priority. With an abundance of obligations (i.e. church, work, school, [oh yeah... and self]), it takes me a little longer to c …
