St. John Book Discussion Group – Thursday, January 12

7:30 to 9:00 p.m., Parish Center
On January 12, we will discuss “A Map of Life: A Simple Study of the Catholic Faith” by Frank Sheed. This is a classic of sorts, published in 1933. Frank Sheed was an Australian of Irish descent. In 1926 he founded Sheed & Ward, which published some of the finest Catholic literature of the 20th century. The goal of “A Map of Life” is to address the question we all must ask: What is the ultimate meaning of our lives? Sheed writes in chapter one: “What the meaning is, God has told us: we need to know it; there is no other way of knowing. This book is simply an attempt to transcribe what God has said.” For further information about the Book Group, contact John Stewart at 617-969-0950 or johnstewart@alum.bu.edu
