Club 31...Book #5

Society tends to look down upon deep thinking or pass it off as it is only for the strange. Our culture tries to brainwash us through different forms of media and tries to imprient their opinions. But did you know that you already believe in something. And your belief affects the way you live, think and act. Have you ever wonder or have you ever been asked by someone else, What is life all about? Is there only one way to God or do all roads lead to him? And if there is a God and he is good, why do bad things happen? Why is there suffering? How can we know about God? And is there inate moriality in each of us? How would you respond to someone who was asking the "hard" questions and searching for the truth? What would you tell yourself?

The book that we had to read for March, was called How to be your own selfish Pig...and other ways you've been brainwashed, by Susan Schaeffer Macaulay.
This book is a complation of the "hard" questions of life. Short stories of real life people who walked in and out the doors of the L'Abri house. L'Abri is a place where people can come to get away from their everyday rountines and look for answers to the "hard" questions they are asking themselves. You can find L'Abri houses all over the world...Switzerland, Holland, England, Massachusetts and Minnesota. Thats right, I said Minnesota. There is a L'Abri House right here in Rochester, Minnesota.
If you find yourself questioning life and traveling is not an option, pick up this book. Read and ponder and determine your worldview.
