February Book Talk


The Duckabush Study Group is reading C. S. Lewis's Mere Christianity this month. First delivered as radio talks 65 years ago, this collection of essays influenced an entire generation of English speaking people toward the gospel. How does it hold up today? Have Lewis's comments turned out to be prophetic? And will younger people, whose thinking tends to be shaped more by images than words, benefit from being introduced to Lewis?
As you read, make lots of notes, write down your questions and comments, and come to the Mason County Christian School computer lab on Tuesday, February 17, from 7 until 8:30 p.m. to join the discussion.
If you don't plan to be a part of the February event, but want to read ahead, in March we will be reading Jean Vanier's Community and Growth. Vanier writes from a context of mentally disabled adults living in Christian community in homes all over the world. This book will stretch you to ask how his hard-won insights into relationships can be applied in our own homes and churches.
