Join us on Tuesday evenings in June and July as we read and discuss two important books: "Ruby Slippers" by Jonalyn Fincher and "The Shack" by William Young.

According to one reader, "'Ruby Slippers' takes on the stereotypes of the Christian woman. It is not a book for conservative Christian women or one for liberal Christian women. It is a book for all women who bear the image of the God who made them special and for all women who long to be known as such." Another reader writes "By uncovering the glory of the image of God in a woman, 'Ruby Slippers' offers a beautiful, redeeming, healing, and honoring picture of what Christ sees when He looks at a woman."

"The Shack" is a novel according to one reviewer "that has literary integrity and spiritual daring. It cuts through the cliches of both religion and bad writing to reveal something compelling and beautiful about life's integral dance with the Divine. This story reads like a prayer - like the best kind of prayer, filled with sweat and wonder and transparency and surprise." "The Shack" wrestles with the timeless question, "Where is God in a world so filled with unspeakable pain?" The answers will astound you and perhaps transform you as it did the main character in this book.
