St. Thomas Reads Book Club meets every other month at 7 pm in the Gathering Hall to discuss a predetermined Fiction or Nonfiction book about faith. Anyone may attend the discussions and there is no committment necessary.
All are welcome to join us for our January book discussion. As described on Amazon.com, "He Leadeth Me is the deeply moving personal story of one man's spiritual odyssey and the unflagging faith which enabled him to survive the horrendous ordeal that wrenched his body and spirit to near collapse. He Leadeth Me is a book to inspire all Christians to greater faith and trust in God-even in their darkest hour.”
All are welcome to join us for our March book discussion. As described on Amazon.com, "Rediscover Jesus is a profound invitation to seek deeply personal answers to our deeply personal questions. Each page seems to effortlessly reach into every aspect our lives, providing spiritual wisdom and practical insights that help us to know both Jesus and ourselves in a new way. Some books find us at just the right time, and those books change our lives forever. Rediscover Jesus is one of those books.”
All are welcome to join us for our May book discussion. As described on Amazon.com, "St. Hemma of Gurk? St. Deicolus? These saints are not household names, but maybe they should be. Although the Church recognizes thousands of saints, a relatively small number of them are well known to most Catholics. This book introduces the reader to a group of diverse saints—men and women, single and married, from all corners of the world—whose exploits have been lost to most of us. Each story highlights an aspect of that saint’s life that can be applied to today’s circumstances.”
All are welcome to join us for our July book discussion. As described on Amazon.com, "In this classic Catholic novel, Bernanos movingly recounts the life of a young French country priest who grows to understand his provincial parish while learning spiritual humility himself. Awarded the Grand Prix for Literature by the Academie Francaise, The Diary of a Country Priest was adapted into an acclaimed film by Robert Bresson. "A book of the utmost sensitiveness and compassion...it is a work of deep, subtle and singularly encompassing art.”
