Going on Hiatus

For a while now we have had a wonderful time reading and chatting with one another. Now that the school year is beginning I'm finding myself very busy. Between my children's daily needs, schooling, events of life, and being a wife my time seems stretched tight. I'm needing to put aside the book club for a season. Thank you for participating and I hope that someday we'll be able to pick it back up. God Bless~Stacy

July's Pick

         This month's book will be The Last Song written by Nicholas Sparks. I began reading this book not too long ago. I have to admit that I didn't have very high expectations for it in the beginning. However, I was happily surprised at the depth found within it's pages. You might think that Sparks is only known for writing sappy love stories. If this isn't your type of read please give this book a chance. It will surprise you that it isn't what you might expect it too be. It's very well written and more over, it's story is powerful. I had no idea that upon reading it's final pages such a wonderful message would unfold.  

         Personally I love to surround myself with good literature. When a piece is timeless I love it even more. The Last Song is timeless. It speaks to you about the truthfulness of real love, God's power, and ultimately redemption. This is a book that I will proudly sit upon my book shelf. Hopefully one day in the future my daughters will want to read it. 

          I think it's message will resonate with you too. Give it a chance, pick up a copy, and allow yourself to be taken on a journey that will be more than just entertainment to you.

Living Alternatives Outreach

Our God is so GOOD!!! Our little book club has a moment to have a HUGE impact for the kingdom of Christ. Ladies, I just spoke with the director from Living Alternatives "Crisis Pregnancy Center". They would love to have our copies of Shades of Blue and any other helpful reading material that we would like to donate (What to Expect When You are Expecting, etc.). They also need new born clothing and diapers. When these precious ladies find out they're expecting; the center sends with them diapers and clothes for their new baby, along with vital counseling and support. Having a child can be a daunting idea under ideal circumstances, imagine if you are alone and scared and contemplating other alternatives. Let's help these girls' to know that they are loved by Christ, let's be the hands and feet of Him.

2 Corinthians 5:14
For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.

Bring any and all donations to church Sunday. I'll be in the Children's foyer at the end of the 9:30 service on June 6. If you won't be there, message me and we'll meet up somehow. Feel His calling and move. Let's not be found idly waiting, but actively serving.

Meeting Reminder

Tonight we're meeting at 7. Come to our usual hang out place, The Bridge Coffee House. If you haven't finished reading don't fret, come anyways!!! ~Stacy

June's Pick: Beach Reading

   It's officially summer time in our home and if you're anything like me your craving a break. This month's pick is the perfect book to just sit back and enjoy whether you're by the beach, the pool, or just curled up on the couch. Sometimes I just need a book that doesn't require anything more of me than to enjoy it's story. This month's choice is "Letters to Juliet" by Leis Friedman & Ceil Friedman. It's a romance piece that has a 4 star rating on Amazon. 

         Oh and another thing you should know let's go to the movies!!! Yes, you heard me.  Let's ditch the coffee house, gather up all of our buddies, sit down with pop-corn & a coke; and enjoy "Letter's to Juliet" on the big screen. Tentatively set your calendars for movie night, June 22. See you then ladies!

TERROR BY NIGHT

May's pick is Terror By Night. It's the compelling true story written by Terry Caffey. I don't want to give too much away. However, I can tell you that it happened here in Texas in a  little town not too far away called Canton. Pick it up soon and start reading. Our next meeting is scheduled for May 20th at 7pm. I hope to see you there!
