This summer, our pastors invite you to read the first book in the Wilderking Trilogy, a book by Jonathan Rogers called The Bark of the Bog Owl.

​

On one level, this is a fun summer read, whether you are 1 year old or 91. The author describes the book as “swampy adventure fiction” and The School Library Journal says that “Roger’s writing is terrifically appealing. The adventure and humor are first rate.”

​

On another level, this is a deep summer read that is a sort of re-telling of the biblical David and Goliath story. As such, it not only invites the reader deeper into the biblical story, but also raises fascinating questions about how the arts can intersect with our faith.

​

Grab a copy (wherever you buy or borrow books - including our own library!) and dive right in! We will be hosting a multigenerational conversation about the book on August 9th at 4:00PM in the church library!

“‘Who knows what the future holds? Only the One God,’ explained Aidan. ‘You live the little bit of life that you can see in front of you. You live it well. And that gets you ready for whatever unfolds next.’”  -The Bark of the Bog Owl
