August Book Club Reading
"War in Heaven"
by Charles Williams
Club members were looking for a good "summer book" to fill the remaining weeks of August, and found one in this classic by Charles Williams. Williams was one of the famed "Inklings", and an author of what T.S. Eliot described as "supernatural thrillers".
"War In Heaven" concerns the Holy Grail, much like that other big seller a few year's back, but is reportedly more solid on its spiritual basis and also more exciting. One reviewer described it as," a supernatural thriller that is sort of a detective novel, kind of a suspense novel, in a way about relationships, about self-growth, spiritual search and discovery, but not in a traditional sense." Sounds fun!
We'll meet to discuss the book in September. Join us for this fun and scary adventure! (Click the cover illustration at right to find the book at Amazon.com.)
