Welcome to LCP's Book Club!

📚 Some of the recent titles we've read. 📚

Lutheran Church of Peace has a book club that meets once a month during the school year. (We take summers off to read on our own!) The book club currently meets on the third Wednesday of the month at 1:30 pm at church.

Sherry Johnson and Sue Zimmerman lead book club. They choose book club books from the library, so we have read all kinds of interesting literature.

Everyone is welcome to join in reading the books and participating in the lively discussions that follow. It is always interesting to hear how each of us relates to a story based on our own narratives.

I just finished The Last Thing He Told Me and then watched the series on Apple Tv! A good suspenseful book and show! Now I’m reading a juvenile/young adult book called Mustaches for Maddie! I can tell it will be good even tho I’m only a little ways in. Two of my favorite books are The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah (I’ve loved all her books) and another fav is Wild, which is also a great movie! A true story about a beginner hiker (if even that) hikes the Pacific Crest Trail! Enjoy! I look forward to seeing other suggestions!

Everything Happens for a Reason: And Other Lies I’ve Loved by Kate Bowler

Kate is a theology professor at Duke University who writes in a very accessible way with humor, candor and grace about her experience with illness and cancer, facing the realities of death and dying while navigating everyday life, and the sometimes helpful, or unhelpful, platitudes people offer.

American Spy by Lauren Wilkinson – for Minneapolils Art Institute Book Tour. Layers to explore with the main character – an African American Spy during the Cold Way. A unique spin on your typical thriller!

I just finished The Personal Librarian by Benedict and Murray. Wow! Amazing historical fiction about the young lady who was the personal librarian for the J.P.Morgan Library in New York. I loved it!

I just finished The Personal Librarian about J.P. Morgan’s personal librarian. It was a fascinating and sometimes heart wrenching peek into the world of the African American community in the 1930’s. Don’t skip the authors’ discussion at the end! – Pastor Liz

I am also reading Becoming Wise by Krista Tippett. She interviews the most fascinating people on her show/podcast called On Being which is produced right here in Minneapolis. This book is a sort of compendium of all the wisdom she has gained over 20 or more years of interviews with great leaders and thinkers of our time. I highly recommend it. It has helped me immensely in thinking through some issues for myself these past few weeks.

I started reading “Never Lie” this spring and have been reading her books since (to many to list). I just finished reading The Housekeeper & The Housekeepers Secret by Freida McFadden. WOW! She writes psychological thrillers.
