We will be kicking off our summer book club at the end of June. We will be jumping into the book "Captivating...Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman's Soul." Is was written by John and Stasi Eldredge, best seeling author of Wild at Heart. As a little preview about the book, here is what is written on the back cover. "Every woman was once a little girl. And every little girl holds in her heart her most precious dreams. She longs to be swept up into a romance, to play an irreplaceable role in a great adventure, to be the Beauty of the story. Those desires a far more than child's play. They are the secret to the feminine heart. And yet-how many women do you know who ever find that life? As the years pass by, the heart of a woman gets pushed aside, wounded, buried. She finds no romance except in novels, no adventure except on television, and she doubts very much that she will ever be the Beauty in any tale. But her heart is still there. Sometimes when she watches a movie, sometimes in the wee hours of the night, her heart begins to speak again. A thirst rises within her to find a life she was meant to live-the life she dreamed of as a little girl. The message of Captivating is this: Your heart matters more than anything else in all creation. The desires you had as a little girl and the longings you still feel as a woman-they are teling you of the life God created you to live. He offers to come now as the Hero of your story, to rescue your heart and release you to live as a fully alive and feminine woman. A woman who is truly captivating."
We are doing this summer's book club a little different. Instead of meeting at the church, we are having host sites and leaders that will be at each place. We are also offering two different nights...Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The host sites and leaders are as follows:
