Fall Book Study

 

In this recently (2024) published book Guthrie inspirationally and openheartedly writes of her hard-won religious belief that makes room for imperfection and "does not require us to ignore... the sorrows we experience or the unjustness we see but to believe past it."   Her conclusion is – “Mostly what God does is love you.”

 If we could believe this, really believe this, how different would we be? How different would our lives be? How different would our world be?

One reviewer notes: If you ever struggle with your connection to God (or whether you even feel connected to a faith at all!), you're not alone. Especially in our modern world, with its relentless, never-ending news cycle, we can all grapple with such questions. Do we do that alone, with despair and resignation? Or do we make sense of it with God, and with hope? In these uncertain times, could believing in the power of divine love make the most sense?

In this collection of essays, Savannah Guthrie shares why she believes it does, telling personal stories from her own joys and sorrows as a daughter, mother, wife, friend, and professional journalist, co-anchor of the TODAY Show. She explores the place of faith in everyday life.

This book is a perfect companion to your morning cup of coffee and for our Tuesday afternoon book club gathering, beginning September 17th at 1:30 PM .  This beautiful tapestry of reflections includes:

·       a fresh, biblically rooted look at what Guthrie describes as her six essentials of faith: love, presence, grace, hope, gratitude, and purpose.

·       an honest exploration of questions, doubts, and fears about the love of God;

·       a dose of encouragement for the faith-full, the faith-curious, and the faith-less; 

 

This deeply personal collection is designed to engage the practical ways that God loves you—not just the world, but you—and to inspire you to venture down a path of faith that is authentic, hopeful, destiny-shaping, and ultimately life-changing.
