Fr. Bryan’s Book of the Month discussion group meets on the last Wednesday of each month at 5:30 p.m. in Hebron Hall.

The July meeting date Wednesday, July 31.

The July selection is The Gospel According to Tolkien by Ralph C. Wood.

In this accessible and engaging book, Ralph Wood shows us that J.R.R. Tolkien’s masterpiece is a deeply Christian work because it does not blink back the horrors of our terrible times but confronts them with startling honesty. Readers keep turning to this work because here they are immersed in significance and meaning – perceiving the Hope than can be found amidst despair; the Charity that overcomes veangance; and the Faith that springs from the strange power of weakness. The Gospel According to Tolkien will be loved by both longtime Tolkien fans and those recently drawn to his books through the popular feature films.
