Oakdale Emory - United Methodist Church

Oakdale Book Club

Every other month, Christine Gormley leads a group through an evening of thought-provoking discussion based on previously selected books. You may join this group any time that the book that is being discussed interests you. It is preferred that you sign up in advance, so that she knows how many to expect but it is not mandatory.  

The next meeting will be Tuesday, July 28, at 7:00 p.m. in Room 404, Bready Building. The book for that night's discussion is "The Hiding Place" by Corrie Ten Boom. Below is a synopsis from Amazon.com

Review:  Corrie ten Boom was a woman admired the world over for her courage, her forgiveness, and her memorable faith. In World War II, she and her family risked their lives to help Jews escape the Nazis, and their reward was a trip to Hitler's concentration camps. But she survived and was released--as a result of a clerical error--and now shares the story of how faith triumphs over evil. For thirty-five years Corrie's dramatic life story, full of timeless virtues, has prepared readers to face their own futures with faith, relying on God's love to overcome, heal, and restore. Now releasing in a thirty-fifth anniversary edition for a new generation of readers, The Hiding Place tells the riveting story of how a middle-aged Dutch watchmaker became a heroine of the Resistance, a survivor of Hitler's death camps, and one of the most remarkable evangelists of the twentieth century.
