June Non-Fiction Book: Abraham

Hi everyone!

Our last books walked us through the streets of Chicago so let's head back to the world stage for our next book.

"At a time when conflicts among three of the world's major religions--Islam, Judaism, and Christianity--are in the global spotlight, Bruce Feiler offers a stunning biography of the one man who unites all three religions: Abraham. ... [T]his captivating biography speaks to Abraham as the metaphor he is: the historically elusive man who embodies three religions, a character who has shape-shifted over the millennia to serve the clashing goals and dogma of each religion." - Amazon.com

The author, Bruce Feiler, is the host of the acclaimed PBS series Walking the Bible and is the New York Times bestselling author of seven books, including Walking the Bible and Abraham.

For June, our book will be:

Abraham: A Journey to the Heart of Three Faiths
by Bruce Feiler

We'll be meeting at the Lincoln-Belmont branch of the Chicago Public Library in West Lakeview. The library is down the street from the Paulina brown line stop and accessible from the Belmont, Ashland, and Lincoln buses. The library has a parking lot and street parking in the neighborhood is widely available.

* Note that the library is just down the street from the Caribou Cafe where we've had meetings in the past.
