Bookworms

The books the group read can have an explicitly Christian theme or purpose but we are by no means restricted to these. Any book members feel might be worth reading and give us something to think about and discuss can be chosen. Meetings take place at the Church on weekday evenings and last no more than an hour and a half. We usually end with a friendly coffee.

We generally also let people know what we have been reading through the Church Journal - and also what we thought of the latest offering!

We have been reading-

Another very moving story set in Afghanistan between the 1970s and the 1990s, this time about two women living through the end of Russian control through the Taliban rule - with endless gunfire, bombs, unbelievable hardship and suffering The two women struggle through all this with added personal incredible misery having to share a mean hard brutal husband. This does not sound like a very happy read we realise - but it is all so beautifully told. We may be the sadder at the end, but very much wiser with an understanding of and feeling for the Afghan women's suffering and admiration for their courage.
