Adult Book Group – “Here If You Need Me” by Kate Braestrup

Adult Book Group – “Here If You Need Me” by Kate Braestrup

The first book chosen for the Adult Book Group is “Here If You Need Me” by Kate Braestrup. This is the powerful true story of the author’s experience as one of the first chaplains for the Maine Warden Service (The Warden Service sets up search-and-rescue missions throughout the state.)

But it is more than a simple account of the life and death stories that are involved in this kind of work. The book is woven with stories of faith, related to scripture, is full of joy, as well as sorrow, and makes for a very profound and moving read.

Come join us on the following Mondays at 6:00pm: April 29 (please read through chapter 5), May 6 (chapters 6-9), May 13 (chapters 10-14) and on May 20 (finish the book).
