Circle of the Word is a small group of women who want to grow spiritually and support others in their spiritual growth. This fall we are reading and discussing The Jesus Prescription for a Healthy Life by Leonard Sweet. New members are welcome!
Leonard Sweet, with his profound insight and humor examines how Jesus laughed, hung out with friends, played with children, walked, enjoyed the good times at social gatherings, and poked fun at pious pretensions. By examining the life of Jesus, this prescription for health and well-being details the ways and habits through which Jesus lived a disciplined life and healthy existence during his ministry among us. …You are sure to sharpen spiritually and hone your life physically while learning things about Jesus that you have never heard before.
