Room F145, 1st floor of Shedon Family Life Center
Rev. Beth Brown Shugart invites you to read The Red Tent by Anita Diamant and then join Beth for a discussion of the book. The book’s main character is Dinah. In the Bible, her fate is merely hinted at in a brief and violent detour within the verses of the Book of Genesis that recount the life of Jacob and his infamous dozen sons. The Red Tent is an extraordinary and engrossing tale of ancient womanhood and family honor. Told in Dinah’s voice, it opens with the story of her mothers - the four wives of Jacob - each of whom embodies unique feminine traits, and concludes with Dinah’s own startling and unforgettable story of betrayal, grief and love. We will meet on Monday, October 23rd, from 10 to 11:30 a.m. in room F145, located on the 1st floor of the Sheldon Family Life Center to discuss the book. That gives you plenty of time to read the book. On December 4th we will discuss Becoming Mrs. Lewis by Patti Callahan. Please contact Beth by e-mail at bshugart@duluthumc.org, or call 770-476-3776, ext. 128 if you have any questions.
