The women's ministry is hosting a book club this summer to discuss Jayber Crow
by Wendell Berry, a lovely story of a man's life and community in rural
Kentucky over the course of the 20th century.
Berry is a Christian, writer, farmer, and conservationist who left a
fast-paced life in NYC to move back to rural Kentucky. He has a series
of books set in the fictional small town of Port William, KY, and this
one introduces us to Jayber Crow, the town's barber. Over the course of
the book, Jayber learns what it means to live like Jesus in a community
full of loving and messy relationships. It is a great introduction to
Wendell Berry's work. We will have the chance to see how life and
people have both changed and stayed the same over the tumultuous 20th
century.
We will meet at Deb Dunn's house in Winchester on Monday evenings beginning June 9th, from 6:30-8:30pm. To sign-up or ask questions, contact Deb.
