Sign up HERE for one or ALL book club series for this summer!
The books in the Book Club Series will be Christian-based, but are not Bible studies. Open discussions will revolve around book themes and not specific questions. We look forward to engaging in conversation and to seeing how we grow from what we learn!
July 8th - "Mary, Called Magdalene" by Margaret George
Was Mary Magdalene a prostitute, a female divinity figure, a church leader, or all of those? Biblical references to her are tantalizingly brief, but we do know that she was the first person to whom the risen Christ appeared--and the one commissioned to tell others the good news. In a vivid re-creation of Mary Magdalene's life story, Margaret George convincingly captures this renowned woman's voice as she moves from girlhood to womanhood, becomes part of the circle of disciples, and comes to grips with the divine while being grounded in biblical scholarship and secular research.
