Book Club - The Rocking Chair Prophet
2024-04-16 10:00 - 11:30 UTC
Book Club is Tuesdays at 10:00am in the Ministry Center.
The book will be The Rocking Chair Prophet by Matthew Kelly.
The Rocking Chair Prophet is a rich exploration of life and the human condition. It’s an invitation to rediscover yourself and reorient your life. Matthew Kelly has masterfully woven into the story a piercing wisdom that is thought-provoking on a life-changing scale. It is stunning that one book can have something so meaningful to say on so many topics. This is destined to be a book readers return to time and again, a book that speaks to us anew in every season of life.
We will be discussing this book starting April 16th and will be weekly through April 30th. Be sure to sign up and reserve a book by calling the Parish Office at 239-334-2161. A small donation is appreciated to cover the cost of the book.
