LIBRARY CORNER

When we think about how books feed our spiritual formation, we generally think of non-fiction books that help us understand scripture and theology, but fiction can powerfully shape the ways in which we think about God and our perceptions of the human condition. Here are some great reads, even some fun movies, to enrich your journey.

CAPTIVATING READS

The story of Gilead unfolds over decades amidst a community of people. It is a love song of sorts offered in gratitude for the wonder and beauty of life.	Deadline is a heart-pounding murder mystery involving a tragic accident under suspicious circumstances that leads to a deeper search for the meaning of life.	In this thrilling chiller, a man meets God while searching for answers to his daughter’s disappearance. The Shack is a compelling depiction of life's integral dance with the Divine.
Told in the voice of Jacob and Leah's daughter Dinah, we meet the fascinating feminine characters who gathered within The Red Tent during their cycles of life.	Two women, centuries apart, are joined through a tattered journal in The Scarlet Thread as they contend with God, husbands, and even themselves amidst the harsh conditions of the Oregon Trail.
