Evelyn Munson  Library

Thank you to two authors who have donated copies of their books to the Library.

Lucy Baker is the author of 15 books, both fiction and non fiction. A signed copy of her work "William Grayson and the Constitution, 1788", a Biography, can be found in the Library.

Father Dick Adams was a forum presenter in September on his book, "Walking the Way of Beauty". He collaborated with Fr. Joseph Clayton Neuman who did the photos. Their other books include: "Through the Years", and "Celebrating".  A summary of his forum is  available and his icons from the book are on display in the DeForest Room through December.

Thank you also to Rev. Peter MacLean who donated several books from his personal library.

In the near future, the small bookcase in the Deforst Room will contain a small selection of books that are for sale. Hardcovers  are $1 and  paperbacks $6.99 or less are $.25, and $7.00 and up are $.50. Payment is based on the honor system and money can be  placed in the basket there.

Volume IX of the Interpreter's Bible is missing. If you have borrowed it, please return it. These volumes cost $70 to replace.

Recommended Reading

We are seeking donations to purchase books for the All Saints  library.

Bishop Ely has recommended reading "Great Emergence" by Phyllis Tickle.

Lenten Study groups at the Cathedral are  using two books  by Marcus Borg and John Dominic Crossan in their  discussions. One is "The First Paul" wich  examines the  life and letters of  Paul, and "The Last Week"which is about the events of Holy Week.THe latter has been purchased for the library.

St. James is doing a  study on Kate Moorehead's book, "Get Over Yourself; God's Here". Moorehead focuses on Jesus' way of  doing things that ofers a vision for us on the practice of repentance that helps address the ways we separate ourselves from God.

If you visit the Hopkins Book Shop on Cherry Street, there is an excellent display of books on the Gospel of Luke to choose from. I purchased "Luke For Everyone" by N.T.Wright for the library to use for forum discussions. I would like to add "The Gospel of  Luke", by Frederick Schmidt. Both books are part of a series on the gospels that would be good to add to the library.

To donate, make a check payable to All Saints and  put "library on the memo. You may give the check to me or put it on Margaret's desk. If you decide to purchase a  book yourself, please let me know to avoid duplication.
