We are starting a women's book group that will meet about once a month on Sunday evenings from 4-6 pm. Debra Mattingly will host it at her house. The first meeting will be on Sunday March 26th. Bring food to share if you wish.
The first book we will read and discuss will be "From I-ville to You-ville" by Mersine Vigopoulou. We will take turns reading it out loud and then discussing the ideas in this book. This is Christian allegory reminiscent of Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress. The unique and wise counsel of Elder Paisios of the Holy Mountain is presented in a way that is perfect for children and adults alike. In every turn and twist of this adventure of a young man making his way from his home of I-ville to the unknown, but longed-for, kingdom of You-ville.
The author masterfully weaves the wisdom of the elder into the fabric of the story, constructing a seamless garment of beauty, charm and enlightenment. No need to purchase a book, but if you'd like your own copy they are available from Amazon and from Ancient Faith. The Ancient Faith edition is a newer edition illustrated by someone different than the one available on Amazon and the copy Debra owns.
