2009 Summer Book Club Voting

As we discussed this summer's activities for LifePointe's Women's Ministry, we felt like doing a book club again after our 6 six week study of Anticipating the Voice of God would be a fun and relaxing way to stay in His word and continue fellowship. We also thought it might be fun to allow all of you to decide what book we would do for our book club. Below are the three books we narrowed it down to for choices. Please take the time to cast your vote on this blog up in the right hand corner. And stay tuned to see just what happens. The voting will close on May 16th. Someone from the Women's Ministry team will annouce the winning book during the services on that Sunday the 17th. We hope this is something you will enjoy and something different. As a side note, the book club will be done just like we did last summer which were small groups at several different women's homes or somewhere like Starbucks. If you feel God leading you to host a small group, please email Monica. Thank you for your help with the planning of our Summer Book Club 2009. God bless you and yours!

Product Description

Mackenzie Allen Philips' youngest daughter, Missy, has been abducted during a family vacation and evidence that she may have been brutally murdered is found in an abandoned shack deep in the Oregon wilderness. Four years later in the midst of his Great Sadness, Mack receives a suspicious note, apparently from God, inviting him back to that shack for a weekend. Against his better judgment he arrives at the shack on a wintry afternoon and walks back into his darkest nightmare. What he finds there will change Mack's world forever. In a world where religion seems to grow increasingly irrelevant "The Shack" wrestles with the timeless question, "Where is God in a world so filled with unspeakable pain?" The answers Mack gets will astound you and perhaps transform you as much as it did him. You'll want everyone you know to read this book!

Burdened. The word alone makes shoulders sink. It slows down our lives. It clouds our vision. It is the result of so many memories, grudges, fears, uncertainty, and stress. It is heavy. "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." (Matt 11:28)
Overworked? Over committed? Overtired? Under appreciated?
