St. Mary’s Book Group St. Mary’s Book Group meets the 2nd Tuesday of the month from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. rotating among participant’s homes. In March the group discussed Twelve Extraordinary Women by John MacArthur. John MacArthur is a fifth-generation pastor, author and conference speaker, and has served as pastor of Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California since 1969. The book introduces the reader to women of the Old and New Testaments. We enjoyed learning about these faith-filled women, many of whom were not familiar to us. We were disappointed in the author’s focus in the chapter on Mary, which dealt less with Mary and more about his perceptions of the relationship Catholics have with her. On a positive note, the book has encouraged us to read more about Mary. In April the group will discussing Celebrating Good Liturgy: A Guide to the Ministries of the Mass edited by James Martin SJ. If you would like to learn more about the St. Mary’s Book Group or would like to join us, please call Elaine Young at 541-619-6106 or email at peyoung2@comcast.net.
