SUMMARY:West Grove's authors
DESCRIPTION:1:00 – 3:00   Welcome three local authors for a book signing: \nMel Leaman\, Susan Scott\, and Lassiter Williams (represented by Regent Street Press)\n    All three are ‘our own’!  \nRefreshments will be served while you chat with the authors and buy their books!\n\n\nHonest with God: Reflections on Faith and Doubt by Mel Leaman\n“Honest to God\, isn’t there anyone else out there who shares my experiences of faith and doubt\, who honors both and denies neither one? Isn’t there a kind of integrity that cannot be captured by retrospective\, calm reflection after the battle\, but drives the desperate scribblings of the one in the foxhole” (p. 10). Using prose\, poetry\, and prayers a former pastor\, writing from the foxhole offers a rare and vulnerable account of his spiritual sojourn. This is not a story of success\, or a step-by-step devotional bound to a pre-determined response\, but an open-ended journey for both the author and the reader.\n\n\n\nStill Praying After All These Years by Susan Scott\n\n\n\nPeople in their later years face many changes\, some not of their own choosing. Still Praying After All These Years offers 52 compelling meditations that invite readers to discover fresh meaning in maturity and embrace opportunities for spiritual growth offered by aging.  Each meditation begins with a concern\, question\, or insight expressed in the author’s pastoral conversations with people ages 75-100. Chaplain Scott provides psychological and theological insights\, welcoming doubt\, mystery\, and the emotions that accompany aging. She invites readers to practice their faith by reflecting on some aspect of their life or undertaking an action. A brief prayer ends each meditation. \n  \n\nThis book will help older readers feel less alone as they hear the thoughts of others who have walked a similar path. Readers who are in caregiving roles with older persons will have their empathy kindled for the spiritual\, emotional\, and other challenges faced by the aged. The book is also an excellent resource for those who minister with the elderly and a stimulating springboard for group discussion by seniors.\n\n\nThe Rage by Lassiter Williams is a young adult fantasy following 15-year-old warrior\, Trip\, as she recognizes the futility of violence as she gropes for a path to healing.
