¡Disponible presencial o por WhatsApp! El libro de este mes será Aligere Su Equipaje: Despojémonos de las cargas que nunca debimos llevar. La Promesa del Salmo 23 escrita por Max Lucado.

En el día 25 de junio se discutirá la primera parte del libro donde se invita a todos los participantes a compartir su punto de vista. Va acompañado por un diario con reflexiones de los capítulos del libro. En total el estudio será en tres partes.

Jueves, 9 de julio – parte II y jueves, 23 de julio – parte III.

El libro lo puede conseguir en cantidad limitada en Keeler Women’s Center, también disponible en audiolibro.

Sobre el libro: Utilizando el Salmo 23 como hilo conductor, el libro nos enseña que muchas veces arrastramos cargas emocionales y espirituales que no fuimos diseñados para llevar, como el temor, la preocupación, la culpa, el descontento y la soledad.
