The Beautiful World Book Club is now being hosted at the Arts Council! They meet on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month at 7:00 – 8:30pm in the gallery. We will continue to have a copy of each month’s book to share & read in our office.
Welcome to the Beautiful World Book Club!
We meet twice a month to discuss 1/2 of a beautiful book. The books we choose may be considered self-help books. We occasionally read a work of fiction, but it is important to us that the books be positive, uplifting, inspirational and generally helpful in guiding us toward a healthier way of living and interacting with others. The books are chosen well in advance and organized so that one leads naturally to the next. Topics discussed are as far ranging as religion, science, spirituality, philosophy, experiences and practicality and our current members are just as diverse. Also, we are as tolerant as we are diverse. We celebrate our differences and love and respect each other. We do not argue or debate, we discuss and share. This way we each take away new thoughts and ideas that we may incorporate into our own lives in a positive way.
Whether you are a member who sits with us at our meetings, or you just want to enjoy the books on your own and let us know your thoughts and perspectives through the blog (beautifulworldbookclub.blogspot.com), all are welcome. We look forward to your input.
