JANUARY 2022

Amazingly a new year begins. We have

two books highlighted for you this month.

The first comes from the UMW shelves from

2013 Nurturing the Community. Plain

Wisdom--An Invitation into An Amish Home

and The Hearts of Two Women. The sub-

title explains much about this book. In short

chapters each author reminisces of occurrences

and experiences of each in community, family,

everyday life as they open up to each other in

friendship.

Loneliness--It Can Be a Wilderness. It Can

Be a Pathway to God by Elisabeth Elliot is a

gem of a book born out the acceptance of the

author to wherever God took her and with

whom God gave her. Twice widowed (the

missionary Jim Elliot being her first husband)

she has walked the road of loneliness at times

in her life. She writes of loneliness experiences

we can relate to--single--married--widow. This

book was a gift to our library years ago by Lucy

Gallaway. Those of us who remember Lucy’s

deep faith and joy will not be surprised that

she is a bearer of such a book. It is a gift indeed.

Hope you find one of these selections worth

a read or another from our library selves.
