UMW Summer Read

The UMW’s fourth annual summer read will be The Faithful One by Michele Hartlove.  It’s a great book, plus the author will be joining us for a discussion of the book on Monday, September 27 at 6:30 PM.  You may sign up and purchase a copy of the book for $10 in Fellowship Hall (part of cost subsidized by UMW).

Seth Jacobs has it all-looks, fame, wealth, a beautiful wife and three children, a mansion in greater Boston, a highly successful restaurant business, lots of friends, loyal employees.  And in a series of reversals of fortune beyond his control, Seth loses it all - his family, home, business, reputation - even his health when he finds out he is dying of cancer.  Seth's faith is challenged by his friends who suggest perhaps God has a reason for inflicting so much loss and pain upon him.  Suffering, he asks God, like we all do, "Why is this happening to me?"  Wanting his life to end, with some help he finally finds an unexpected "answer" to his despair.  A modern-day story based on the Bible's Book of Job, The Faithful One inspires us all to have a little more faith, no matter what.
