Ladies' Book Club: September 24, 2022

Ladies, join us on Saturday, September 24 at 2:00 p.m. for our next Ladies’ Book Club. At this meeting we will be discussing Nancy Gutherie’s new book, Blessed: Experiencing the Promise of the Book of Revelation. Our location is to be determined. We hope that you will join us for a great time of fellowship and discussion.

Over 12 chapters, Blessed covers the full text of the book of Revelation, exploring its call to patient endurance as God’s sovereign plans for judgment and salvation are worked out in the world. In this book, Guthrie shows how Revelation is less about when Jesus will return and more about who we are to be, what we are to do, and what we can expect to endure as we wait for Jesus to return to establish his kingdom in the new creation.
