Music, Movies, & Books: Book Chat

Events
Written By David Stippick

We believe that if God is the creator of all things, then all things reflect that imago dei in some way. Through our series Music, Movies, & Books, we are examining the influence of the Divine in all things.

As we continue Winter Formation Events, we're excited to read and discuss "Lincoln In The Bardo" by George Saunders.

A little about the book: "Lincoln in the Bardo is an astonishing feat of imagination and a bold step forward from one of the most important and influential writers of his generation. Formally daring, generous in spirit, deeply concerned with matters of the heart, it is a testament to fiction’s ability to speak honestly and powerfully to the things that really matter to us. Saunders has invented a thrilling new form that deploys a kaleidoscopic, theatrical panorama of voices to ask a timeless, profound question: How do we live and love when we know that everything we love must end?"

We'll gather on the evening of Wednesday (Classic Church Night, #amiright), March 26th, have some snacks & drinks, and chat about where and how we see The Divine through this delightful novel.

Location, intentional options to purchase the book, and details are available upon registration.
