MAY 2022
Though the calendar says it is spring, it is
Snowing outside as I write this! Oh for the
Hope of spring.
Since Mother’s Day is almost upon us,
We have an offering for that this month.
To Mother with Love by Helen Steiner
Rice. You might be familiar with this
Author from the card section of the store.
She is known as the “Poet Laureate of
Inspirational Verse.” The fact that cards
Are still using her poems/verses 42 years
After her death proves their lasting influence.
Our selection offers many on mothers.
Our second selection is I Told the
Mountain to Move—Learning to Pray So
Things Change by Patricia Raybon. Faced
With a strained marriage, two strong-willed
Daughters and a family medical crisis, the
Author is drawn/led into a deeper prayer life.
I am amazed by the author’s honesty—sharing
Her thoughts with reader as is we were part
Of her accountability group! This leads to
Authenticity and a witnessing to what walking
With the Lord often looks like at street level.
How our challenges/burdens can draw us
Into a deeper relationship with our Father through
the Holy Spirit.
Treasured Grace by Tracie Peterson is our
Historical fiction selection this month. It takes
Place at the Witman Mission in Oregon Country
In 1847 where the “Whitman Mission Massacre”
Took place. The historical setting is true but
Many of the characters are fictional. It is an
Interesting and informative story.
Also added to our cart this month is the
Second installment of Call the Midwife series
The memoir of Jennifer Worth. Shadows
Of the Workhouse is the title of this selection.
It covers some of the history of workhouses
And their lasting effects on British society along
With the midwifery stories.
Hope you find something to your liking.
