Many of us have a library card and probably had had since we were a kid. Well, do we have a deal for you!
Our Immanuel library is here for your use without the need for a card or any money. All you have to do is stop in, peruse the shelves, choose your book/s, sign out the book on the card inside the book’s cover, leave the card in the designated card holder and be on your way. Just return the book when you are finished with it – no fines incurred.
There are Bible reference books; daily devotional books; books on prayer, Bible study, and coping with illness and loss. Have a friend who needs a healing word or a friend who could use some help in relationships? The library has just what you need.
In addition to all that, our library has a copy of all the Immanuel book club fiction books. You didn’t know we had a Book Club here? It’s great, and we would welcome anyone interest in joining us – third Friday evening at 7 p.m. Where else but in the library?
Immanuel is a generous congregation in so many ways. One of those ways is donating books to our church library. However, we have a small library and our shelves are becoming over crowded. We would ask that if you want to give us some of your books that you contact Diane Chapa with that request. The library group can then decide if we will be able to take your donated books. We respectfully ask that you not leave books unless you have contacted Diane. She can be reached at dianechapa@gmail.com or 612-387-9266.
by James Kittelson and Hans H. Wiersma
For nearly thirty years, Luther the Reformer has been the standard Luther biography… fair, insightful, and detailed without being overwhelming. Kittelson was able to negotiate a “’middle way” that presented a more complete chronological picture of Luther than many had yet portrayed.
For this second edition, Hans H. Wiersma has made an outstanding text even better. The research is updated and the text is revised throughout, with images, bibliographies, and timelines to enhance the experience. It is a great volume, greatly improved.
by William Kent Krueger
If you are among the millions who raced through Where the Crawdads Sing….and are looking for another expansive, atmospheric American saga, look to the latest from Krueger. “Utterly captivating, readers will eat up every delicious word of it.”
by Elizabeth Letts
As with all great historical fiction, the allure of Finding Dorothy is the curiosity it inspires. Letts has brought an unknown woman to life in an engaging and thorough novel.
You can find these books in the bookcase outside Luther Hall. Please check them out in the library. Happy Reading!!
