Book Review & Discussion
On ZOOM, Pastor Ken will lead a discussion on the book "Almost Everything: Notes on Hope" by Anne Lamott, a New York Times bestselling author. In this profound and funny book, Lamott calls for each of us to rediscover the nuggets of hope and wisdom that are buried within us that can make life sweeter than we ever imagined. Divided into short chapters that explore life's essential truths, "Almost Everything" pinpoints these moments of insight as it shines an encouraging light forward. Candid and caring, insightful and sometimes hilarious, "Almost Everything" is the book we need! Please read the book and then join us for our discussion on Thursday, August 13th. The book can be purchased on Amazon. Interested people can email Pastor Ken at PastorKen@alpineucc.org for the ZOOM link.
