Bookworms
The next meeting of our Church reading group is on Monday 4th December at 7.30 pm in the
function room of the Childwall Abbey Pub. All are welcome. The book we will be looking at in December is Pulitzer prize winner, The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck. It is the poignant story of a Chinese peasant farmer and his family in old agrarian China. It talks of the importance and power of the land and raises many questions about values in life which are as pertinent today in our society as they were back then in China. We look forward to seeing many of you there!
