Catholic Mom Summer Virtual Book Club, Jesus Heals—Chapter Two video with author, Allison Gingras
Author Allison Gingras continues Jesus Heals: Finding Hope, Wholeness, and Peace with a deeper dive into the scriptures, in this second week of our Catholic Mom Virtual Book Club.
Uncovering the healing, even with the condition remaining, Allison shares the lessons she's learned during her lifelong battle with anxiety. The Living Word of God reveals the never-ending love, mercy, kindness, and hope waiting to be poured into each soul open to receive it.
Only by the grace of God can we look at some of life's most challenging moments as "light and momentary afflictions" and continue to trust the Divine Physician. We are never alone.
Zoom with Us!
This new virtual book club will meet seven times over the summer via Zoom. The link to join each week will be sent via email in our Book Club newsletter; you'll have seven opportunities to drop in and check it out! Please note: We'll have replays only of the introduction to the chapter, which will also include answering any general questions about that week's topic.
One of my hopes for this online format is that after experiencing the fellowship, ease of connection, and spiritual lift from being part of a small group faith sharing, you'll be inspired to step out and launch your own! We are building resources here at Catholic Mom to help support you, beginning with this study to give you the hands-on experience as a participant before venturing into facilitating.
Join us Wednesdays for any (or all) of these seven Book Club sessions:
- July 16
- July 23
- July 30
- August 6
- August 13
- August 20
All sessions will be held at 9:00 PM Eastern; we hope you will consider joining us live.
Participating in our Book Club is free, and we hope you'll consider joining us and inviting a friend to join as well!
Tell Me More about Jesus Heals?
Jesus Heals guides women through selected Bible stories of Jesus' tender care of ordinary people, all suffering in some form. Through story, Scripture reflections, and discussion questions, this prayer journal and Scripture study show how Jesus is still healing us today, even when his healing doesn't happen in the way we expect. Whether he heals us physically or spiritually, he fulfills the promise of his words in John 10:10: "I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly."
Jesus Heals is part of the Stay Connected Journals for Catholic Women series, which I developed to help women deepen their connection with Jesus through inspiring stories, reflections, Scripture study, and prompts for prayer and journaling.
