Please join us for a Wednesday evening Book Study this summer on
The Soul of America: The Battle for our Better Angels
by
Pulitzer Prize winner Jon Meacham.
In this bestseller, Meacham chronicles in readable, narrative fashion troubled and troubling periods in U.S. history and--importantly--ways that the country and its people came through these times by working together toward goodness. Published in 2018, Meacham’s book is an educational, hopeful, and inspiring read for our present moment.
The study will meet on
Wednesdays 7:00-9:00 pm
in Field Hall at the First Baptist Church of Redlands, beginning
June 26
. It will run through Aug. 28 or Sept. 4, with no meeting on July 3. We will be covering roughly one chapter per week, beginning on June 26 with the Introduction
(“To Hope Rather than to Fear”).
People from various faith and non-faith backgrounds are welcome to attend, and are free to come to as few or as many meetings as they’d like.
Note about the book’s author:
Jon Meacham
is a Pulitzer Prize winning author and former Editor of
Newsweek
. He is a visiting distinguished professor at Vanderbilt University and has served on the vestries of St. Thomas Church Fifth Avenue and Trinity Church Wall Street.
