St. Paul’s Book Club

You’re invited to join St. Paul’s Book Club. We meet virtually via Zoom on the second and fourth Tuesday at 6:30 PM, and we read one book a month from a variety of different genres. You don’t need to join in for every book discussion; we have people who come because they are interested in a particular book. You can also join the discussion for only the fourth Tuesday when we all have finished the book if that fits better in your schedule. The group is welcoming and lively, and we all enjoy the difference in age, interest, and experiences. For more information, please contact Donna Dick.

Sept 10 & 24 – the Book of Hope by Jane Goodall and Douglas Abrams

Looking at the headlines—the worsening climate crisis, a global pandemic, loss of biodiversity, political upheaval—it can be hard to feel optimistic. And yet hope has never been more desperately needed.

In this urgent book, Jane Goodall, the world’s most famous living naturalist, and Douglas Abrams, the internationally bestselling co-author of The Book of Joy, explore through intimate and thought-provoking dialogue one of the most sought after and least understood elements of human nature: hope. In The Book of Hope, Jane focuses on her “Four Reasons for Hope”: The Amazing Human Intellect, The Resilience of Nature, The Power of Young People, and The Indomitable Human Spirit.
