Culture of Life Summer Reading Book is “Fighting for Life” by Lila Rose.
What makes your heart break for our broken world? You want to make a difference in the world. You are concerned about all the problems you see, the injustices and the suffering. But you don't know where to begin. In this book, Lila Rose, Founder of Live Action, shares raw and intimate stories from both her personal journey and pro-life activism that will inspire you to become a champion for your own cause. Along the way, you'll discover how to determine where the need for your gifts is the greatest and begin making a difference and overcome insecurities. Find inner courage and confidence in the face of
obstacles and criticism; and bounce back from mistakes to continually growand make a long-lasting impact. The fight for a world that is more just, more beautiful, and more loving needs all of us.

No sign up required. Read it over the Summer and we will discuss on September 9 th at 9.30am at our 2nd Saturday of the month meeting. For more information contact us!
