The Purpose Driven Life: What on Earth Am I Here For? by Rick Warren

The spiritual premise in The Purpose Driven Life is that there are no accidents - God planned everything and everyone. Therefore, every human has a divine purpose, according to God's master plan. Like a twist on John F. Kennedy's famous inaugural address, this book could be summed up like this: "So my fellow Christians, ask not what God can do for your life plan, ask what your life can do for God's plan." Those who are looking for advice on finding one's calling through career choice, creative expression, or any form of self-discovery should go elsewhere. This is not about self-exploration; it is about purposeful devotion to a Christian God. The book is set up to be a 40-day immersion plan, recognizing that the Bible favors the number 40 as a "spiritually significant time," according to author Rick Warren, the founding pastor of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California, touted as one of the nation largest congregations. Warren's hope is that readers will "interact" with the 40 chapters, reading them one day at a time, with extensive underlining and writing in the margins. As an inspirational manifesto for creating a more worshipful, church-driven life, this book delivers. Every page is laden with references to scripture or dogma. But it does not do much to address the challenges of modern Christian living, with its competing material, professional, and financial distractions. Nonetheless, this is an excellent resource for devout Christians who crave a jumpstart back to worshipfulness.

Choose Joy: Because Happiness Isn't Enough by Kay Warren

Ever wonder why some people seem to experience joy in their daily lives - even in the tough times - and others can't seem to find it no matter how hard they search? Is a joy-filled life really possible? The answer is yes! And it's possible for every woman, no matter what her circumstances may be. In this inspiring book, Kay Warren teaches women what joy really is, where to find it, and how to choose it in the good times and the bad. With compassion and wisdom, she shows readers - even those who live with the constant companions of discouragement and depression - that true joy is deeper, richer, and more accessible than they might think. Choose Joy will empower women who feel like their emotions and well-being are at the mercy of others by helping them understand the life-giving truth that joy is within their grasp every day.

The Purpose Driven Life: What on Earth Am I Here For? by Rick Warren

The spiritual premise in The Purpose Driven Life is that there are no accidents - God planned everything and everyone. Therefore, every human has a divine purpose, according to God's master plan. Like a twist on John F. Kennedy's famous inaugural address, this book could be summed up like this: "So my fellow Christians, ask not what God can do for your life plan, ask what your life can do for God's plan." Those who are looking for advice on finding one's calling through career choice, creative expression, or any form of self-discovery should go elsewhere. This is not about self-exploration; it is about purposeful devotion to a Christian God. The book is set up to be a 40-day immersion plan, recognizing that the Bible favors the number 40 as a "spiritually significant time," according to author Rick Warren, the founding pastor of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California, touted as one of the nation largest congregations. Warren's hope is that readers will "interact" with the 40 chapters, reading them one day at a time, with extensive underlining and writing in the margins. As an inspirational manifesto for creating a more worshipful, church-driven life, this book delivers. Every page is laden with references to scripture or dogma. But it does not do much to address the challenges of modern Christian living, with its competing material, professional, and financial distractions. Nonetheless, this is an excellent resource for devout Christians who crave a jumpstart back to worshipfulness.

Choose Joy: Because Happiness Isn't Enough by Kay Warren

Ever wonder why some people seem to experience joy in their daily lives - even in the tough times - and others can't seem to find it no matter how hard they search? Is a joy-filled life really possible? The answer is yes! And it's possible for every woman, no matter what her circumstances may be. In this inspiring book, Kay Warren teaches women what joy really is, where to find it, and how to choose it in the good times and the bad. With compassion and wisdom, she shows readers - even those who live with the constant companions of discouragement and depression - that true joy is deeper, richer, and more accessible than they might think. Choose Joy will empower women who feel like their emotions and well-being are at the mercy of others by helping them understand the life-giving truth that joy is within their grasp every day.

121 We will meet Mondays, June 10-August 12, 7:00-8:30 PM in the Parlor.

The Faith in Literature day group will meet on September 11, 12:30-2:00 PM in Room 207-209, Payne Education Center. Our September book is "Wolf Hall," by Hilary Mantel.
Set in the period from 1500 to 1535, Wolf Hall is a fictionalized biography documenting the rapid rise to power of Thomas Cromwell in the court of Henry VIII of England, through the death of Sir Thomas More. Cromwell rose to become the right-hand man of Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, adviser to the King. He survived Wolsey's fall from grace to eventually take his place as the most powerful of Henry's ministers. In that role, he oversaw Henry's divorce from Catherine of Aragon and subsequent marriage to Anne Boleyn, the English church's break with Rome and the dissolution of the monasteries.
For more information, please contact Camille Powell.

The Faith in Literature groups meet monthly to explore, discuss and make relevant connections between faith and works of fiction, past and present. While operating within the framework of Christian theology, we seek to ascertain in our reading how all good literature, if even by its omission, deals with and reflects themes of faith. Our reading choices range from early nineteenth century works to present day authors. While staying primarily within the confines of fiction (with occasional forays into the nonfiction world), the books we read cover a multitude of genres, including crime, science fiction, allegory, young adult, historic and just good story telling.

We delight in God's gifts to authors, through their words, to prod, soothe, challenge, confound, and reveal grace in the lives of their characters, and reflect on our own frail likeness to these fictional beings. In sharing our passion for literature, the groups also share laughter, friendship and fellowship. On occasion, the day group reads a book selection from the Museum of Fine Arts Houston Book Club and enjoys a docent tour of art works that highlight the book. We welcome all readers. The evening group has at least one yearly "off-site" gathering, recently taking in "The Heiress" in conjunction with reading Washington Square, by Henry James.

Come join us for a thought-provoking, Christ-centered, joyful examination of the beauty we find through the written word.

Under the leadership of the Rev. John R. Bentley, Jr., our mentor, we are studying "Adventures in the Bible ..." weekly journeys through the pages of the world's most significant book ... a road map to biblical understanding; examining the lives of saints and sinners throughout the Bible.

Once a month, on the "Second Tuesday" of each month, O.P.U.S. will have a variety of guest speakers, musical groups and other special activities. O.P.U.S. "Second Tuesdays" will begin at 11:00 AM and conclude at 12:30 PM.

There is no fee other than the cost of lunch at the Cafe. Please join us for fun, fellowship, food and spiritual growth.

Our Deacon is the Rev. Jim Cunningham, and our President and Convenor is Janie Martin. New members are always welcome - this group is open to all, especially those 55+. Contact Janie Martin.

Note: This group will not meet on holidays or during Church campus closings. Please contact the group leader for updates.
