DESCRIPTION:Are you reevaluating aspects of your faith in an effort to (re)
 consider what you believe? This is the process of deconstruction\, and man
 y people of faith today are expressing their doubts\, asking hard question
 s\, and exploring how faith meets life in our journey on this earth. This 
 book club is a safe space to express those uncertainties and to find other
 s who are on a similar journey.\n\nWe will meet on Wednesday\, August 12th
  @ 6:30 p.m. at CrossRoads\, which is located at 708 N. Main St. We will h
 ave a light snack (provided) followed by a conversation over the content o
 f Eternal Heart: The Mystical Path to a Joyful Life by Cark McColman. He
 re is a brief overview of the book:\n\n"The heart is where the human soul 
 and God meet.\n"This is what teachings from Scripture and the mystics reve
 al: the heart is the temple of God within us and within the heart we hold 
 the key to live a truly divine life. But how do we embody the tremendous l
 ove available to us\, deep in our hearts?\n"In Eternal Heart\, Carl McCol
 man\, author of The Big Book of Christian Mysticism\, invites us to creat
 e an optimistic\, visionary\, and imaginative path to personal happiness a
 nd fulfillment. Weaving together teachings from the biblical tradition\, l
 iterature of the mystics\, and wisdom of the world's contemplative traditi
 ons\, McColman engages us in profound\, practical exercises for cultivatin
 g fuller\, more abundant\, and more satisfying lives.\n"The path of Christ
 ian Mysticism is a path of both contemplation and action. By unlocking the
  mysteries in our hearts\, we discover a source of divine love deep within
  us: a power for spiritual growth\, and for creating meaningful relationsh
 ips and working together to change the world for the better."\n\n\nReading
  the book is not a requirement to attending or participating. In addition\
 , the book club is open to people of any faith or no faith at all. You do 
 not need to be a part of CrossRoads to attend this event. It is open to th
 e public and anyone who would like to join with us.\n\nFor those that are 
 unable to attend in person\, we invite you to read the book with us. You c
 an share your thoughts and questions with Patrick Wilson to be shared with
  the group at the book club meeting and/or set up a one-on-one time to vis
 it about the book in person\, over the phone\, or through chat/text. We'd 
 love your input on the book and how it challenges and shapes your faith jo
 urney.
