This past month we had our meeting on June 26th. We had 4 people in attendance and conversation was great! Everyone in our group agreed that they would recommend the book to others and were interested in reading other books by Deeanne Gist. One thing that was really neat about this author was that several of her books have Christian Book Club discussion guides ready for you! Click Here to check it out. The $5 book store in the outlet mall usually carries several of her books if you would like to read some others. And If you still would like to purchase this book or would want to purchase it for someone else, Kathy may still have one extra if someone hasn't snagged it yet!
Our July book as you already know is, A Shepherd looks at Psalm 23 by W. Phillip Keller. At the meeting last month I noticed that there were 4 copies available in our church library as well. This is a very short book so it's not to late to pick it up and read it so you can attend our meeting! Our July meeting will be on Saturday, July 31st at 8:30 AM. I know since we are in the middle of Summer this could mean even less participation in the meetings but we are still going to keep going strong. The RSVP system has been working well so when you get your reminders before the meeting, I appreciate your reply. I hope you enjoy this month's book and have a great July! If you have any recommendations, please share them with me! Our June book was another pick from a book club member and we would love to have a pick from everyone! So keep telling me what you are reading! I need some books for the next few months! I hope to have the August book announcement out soon. Thank you so much for your continued participation!
Happy Reading!

July Book Club Selectoin
A Shepherd looks at Psalm 23 by W. Phillip Keller is going to be our book club selection for July . Ever since our January 2009 selection, Traveling Light by Max Lucado, this book has been a favorite of mine after learning about it from Jody Beth. At this time Pastor Keith is doing a series on the 23rd Psalm and makes references to this book. I thought it would be fun for
us to read along and learn more as Keith does this series.
Here is a description of what the book is about:
"Phillip Keller's unique perspective on the beloved psalm is a genuine classic about how a real-life shepherd views the love Jesus the Shepherd has for his flock. His inspirational insights come from his firsthand experiences in developing and managing sheep ranches." (end quote)
This book by itself is only a little under 200 pages but the amount of insight gained about how much we are his sheep is amazing. This book gave me a whole new understanding of my relationship with God and my need for him. Before I had no idea why we were called his sheep and after reading I learned how much we are similar to them and it's pretty interesting. I wonder if you have ever thought about how much you are like the ways of a sheep?
If you are interested, there is a trilogy of his available that includes this book as well as two others: A Shepherd Looks at the Good Shepherd and A Shepherd Looks at the Lamb of God. The cost for all three books together is around $10.00 since it's combined into one. For our July reading the requirement is only the one main book: A Shepherd looks at Psalm 23. I just wanted you to know about that option. Kathy will be in touch with you all soon about a pre-order. I haven't checked yet, but don't forget to check out the $5 book store and see if they have it in stock. I picked up a copy once from there last year sometime, never know when they may have it in again!
We do hope to see some of you who haven't been in a long time attend a meeting soon. We miss your company and input. Thank you to those of you who faithfully attend!
**Don't forget the June meeting is coming up soon on June 26th at 8:30 am - 10 am in Swift's new building, classroom 2. Feel free to bring your friends and family! We ask that you RSVP back to this e-mail and let me know if you will or will not be attending the June Meeting. I really appreciate it***
And don't forget, any book suggestions are always appreciated. Happy Reading!
