I have been searching for a book about a Red Feather that we want to use as a program for our Christmas LWML MEETING.
I have just read "The Story of Red Feather" by Edward Ellis and it doesn't really seem it started the idea of having red feathers on a Christmas tree. Can you help me?

Good Morning!

I would like to suggest the book entitled,
"Love as a Way of Life," by Gary Chapman for
the Woman to Woman Book Club. I, also, feel
Dr. Chapman would make an exceptional guest
for Phyllis to interview on one of her weekly broadcasts.

In Love as a Way of Life, Dr. Chapman
reveals that every aspect of your life can be improved by placing love at the center of everything you do. Rich in wisdom and inspiration, Love as a Way of Life is an invaluable guide to creating fu

Regarding Sarah, March's book selection, I am very surprised that this book was selected. Way too risque for my taste regardless of the subject matter. I understand why the author wrote what he did, but it did not compel me to want to read any of his other books.

For a great read, I found Tracy Groot's "Madman" a very inspirational and wonderful read. I also bought her other books, but Madman was the best. Her books actually excited me to read the Bible.

Thank you.

Did you know that due to the Madoff theft of funds that Ellie Wiesel’s Holocaust Foundation has lost all of its funding? All of the money was invested with Madoff, and the project has been topped because of this tragedy. Wiesel is over 80 years old and his life’s work has been destroyed.

Phyllis, The book Crazy; A Father's Search Through America's Mental Health Madness. Author is Pete Earley. Mr Earley spoke at the 5th annual Mental Illness: Out of the Darkness, Into the Light event at SIU Edwardsville on October 23rd. As a parent of an 18 with severe mental health concerns I feel the general public and especially we as Christians need to more informed about the treatment and lack of treatment for our mentally ill. Which by all accounts 20% of the population before death wi

I haven't read "The Shack", but have read some very unfavorable comments from various theologians. Have you had anyone else comment on this issue? Here is a website that is discussing "The Shack" on it's radio broadcast today.

'Nineteen Minutes' was chosen as a selection for the Woman to Woman bookclub based on the content that lies beneath the surface of profanity, extra-marital sex, etcetera. Though we do not condone those behaviors, we felt that it was important to read and discuss a book with content that relates to what we face in our everyday lives. The themes of forgiveness, relationships, and tragedy throughout the book present an opportunity to discuss how we, as Christians, should approach these things in a manner contrary to the author's. In reading the discussion questions we have provided, you will see how a Christian perspective sheds light on the topics covered in 'Nineteen Minutes'.

The book, Nineteen Minutes by Jody Picoult, selected for September is riddled with the f word, sex between unmarrieds and God's name used in vain. I am surprised that the book was chosen for the Woman to Woman Book Club.I very much enjoyed reading the previous month's selections. Thank you.

Our chapter (Trinity Lutheran in Clinton, MA) has had a great time meeting and discussing the book choices.

Since you have a section of recipes already, we have a suggestion. At our meetings we always have refreshments, but we try to match them up with the book (i.e. for Leota's Garden we had a tea party, for Mistaken Identity we had pizza, for The Shack we had dinner (with greens). Maybe your recipe section could offer similar suggestions/connections to the books.
