Bite-sized Book Club
Common Word with Canadian Mennonite is offering this "bite-sized" book club on grief, fresh grief or long-held. Anyone who signs up will get the reading sent to them (you don't have to buy the book), and it'll be short, reasonable. It's a conversation with the author, if you don't manage the reading, it will still speak to you. https://www.commonword.ca/ResourceView/82/28147 (scroll down past the book) Susanna |
