June's Read

Our Book for June, chosen by Susanne, is "The God Who Weep."

Anyone desiring to understand more about Mormon Christianity could find no better guides than Terryl and Fiona Givens. Enriched with luminous insights from Western literature and philosophy. A lovely book! Mary Ann Glendon, Learned Hand Professor of Law at Harvard and former U.S. Ambassador to the Vatican Reading this book is like experiencing Mormonism in high definition. By masterfully weaving together insights from the best books scripture and literature, theology and philosophy Terryl and Fiona Givens bring new depth to the fundamentals of their faith. Whether you know a lot or a little about Latter-day Saint doctrine, this book will both educate and inspire you. David E. Campbell, author of American Grace: How Religion Divides and Unites Us What if God were everything we are, only perfectly so? And what if those perfections included our vulnerability, our suffering, and our joy?

In the Givens masterful hands, the Mormon view of God comes alive in fresh and challenging ways. Mainstream Christians have much to learn from Mormonism, and this book is the place to start. Stephen H. Webb, author of Jesus Christ, Eternal God The God Who Weeps is unlike any book you ve read. The authors, Terryl and Fiona Givens, share five fundamental truths about the universe that their Mormon faith has taught them. Woven together into a coherent tapestry, we find these fundamental truths a compelling, inspiring, and reasonable picture suggesting who presides over this universe, where we came from, why we are here, and what might await us.
