Lenten Book Selection for 2011

Dear Ones,

As has already been published my Lenten book selection for 2011 will be Desmond and Mpho Tutu’s book, Made for Goodness: And why this makes all the difference. As you are probably already aware Archbishop Tutu will be in Western Washington, Tacoma to be precise, on May 12-14 to speak against violence among youth for the Greater Tacoma Community Foundation. We are working on all the details of the visit but as a lead up to his visit I thought it would be only right to spend Lent looking at this very good book which I have just finished myself. We are fortunate indeed that the book comes out in paperback on March 8th, Shrove Tuesday. Read more »
