April Book Club Meeting


April Book Club Meeting

Host: Carol

Book: This I Believe, edited by Jay Allison and Dan Sediman

Response of Book Club Members: This book of essays written by remarkable people (both famous and unfamous) is an uplifting nonfiction work. Each person writes an essay on what they personally believe in from their own personal experiences of living. Every one at the meeting had a favorite essay to discuss. Below are some of my personal favorite quotes from this book. This is the second book in this series. The first book was created in the late '40 by Edward R. Murrow and three of his associates.

"I believe that freedom is contagious."
Harold Hongju Keu

"Jazz is the sound of God laughing. And I believe in it."
Colleen Shaddox

"I believe in the power of love to transform. I believe in the power of love to heal."
Jackie Lantry
