This is a book group with the theme of "Small and Simple Things" based on the book written by Marjorie Hinckley (a woman of the LDS faith). It is a no-cost, monthly book discussion with the purpose of coming together, discussing uplifting, meaningful books (classics, modern and ancient), and applying what we learn to our lives to make our lives more simple and beautiful--in the areas of educating our children, enriching our marraiges, and strengthening ourselves and our faith. (We may later have some yearly nominal fee for paper products for the goodies :-).)This group is open to everyone-- homeschoolers and "public schoolers", people of any faith-- with the understanding that we will be able to speak freely and without apology about our personal preferences of faith in God and methods of instructing our children. The purpose is to meet together, share ideas and beliefs, and create synergy, --something more than what we could come to on our own. It is empowering!
Some of the books we have read: "Hamlet", "The Road Less Traveled", "The Giver", "O Pioneer", "To Kill a Mockingbird"
