March 2007

Our next Faith & Fiction Book Club meeting is Wednesday, March 28th, 7 PM @ Salem UMC. We'll be discussing Thorn in My Heart, the first book of a series by Liz Curtis Higgs. Higgs provides an excellent Bible Study Guide online . . . which aligns Bible verses to different sections of the text (in addition to the book discussion guide questions at the end of the novel).
I love reading the quotes at the start of each chapter (and then re-reading them when each chapter is over). Liz Curtis Higgs states on her website that her favorite is “A winter’s night, a woman’s mind, and a laird’s purpose aften change.” (Scottish proverb)

Which one is your favorite?
