After this group was begun by another organizer, I took over in the spring of 2012 so that a group of individuals who enjoy reading can share ideas. It's interesting to hear different view points from the group about the people's/character's personalities, the settings, and the topics in general. We have had some great discussions about the author's craft. In the past we have drifted toward biographies; any titles and suggestions from the group are welcome!  Debbie Parker

This is a group for anyone interested in the work of Neale Donald Walsch and his Conversations with God books. I've read many different authors (and still do) yet something keeps drawing me back to CwG. Maybe it's the way Neale asks the questions I always wanted to ask yet had no one to ask them of... Perhaps it's the way he makes it all seem so doable, so grounded. I appreciate the way Neale makes his concepts so truly useful to daily life. I'd love to have a group of people who wish to explore …
