Please follow this link
for a full list of books for the next few months and sign up at the link at the bottom of the blog for updates.
In November we are reading two books; All Questions Great and Small by Adrian Plass & Jeff Lucas
and Confessions by Saint Augustine.
The Adrian Plass book is not too heavy and the Augustine is classic Christian literature that is best dipped in and out of.
We will gather to discuss these books on Monday December 2nd at 7.00pm in St Peter’s undercroft.
Please contact Ali if you would like her to get you copies.
