January Reviews

January is a great time for picking up a book. You can search on the Library web page for books by author, title or topic. You can listen to other media links on the Library web page. We have links to current lectures, speakers and articles from other media sources. The Library is open whenever the Church is open.



Alzheimer’s from the Inside Out, by Richard Taylor Ph.D. 362.19 Tay. This is a fabulous book, written by a psychologist with early onset Alzheimer’s. It is a series of one or two page entries as he recounts his experiences as a patient. He refers to Alzheimer’s as the cancer of today. One of the thoughts that really struck me was, “If I don’t have words, if I don’t have access to words, will I be thinking?” Read this book! You can also see more information about Dr Taylor at www.richardtaylorphd.com.



The Irresistible Revolution, living as an ordinary radical, by Shane Claiborne. YP277.3 Cla. This is another great book that I highly recommend for teens and adults. Shane Claiborne is a man who is living his life as he feels Christians should and can. He has a ministry in inner city Philadelphia called “The Simple Way.” This is an excellent book for teens wondering how the message of Jesus can be lived in our times. There is also a web site for Shane at www.thesimpleway.org/shane.



The Prayer of Jabez, by Bruce Wilkinson and Rob Suggs. This book for young children has beautiful pictures and a story that will enchant. This is a great book for those under 10.



Please drop by the library display at Coffee Hour today. Your Library Committee (Pat Strizic, Pat Butler and Joy Crysdale) welcomes our newest member, Cristy Ferencie!
