Stop by and check out ALL the new titles for Fall reading in The Louise McDaniel Memorial Church Library, located on the 2nd floor of the Sheldon Family Life Center. The library is where you can find your next great read, and when the church is open, the library is open! New titles in our library include:

• Small Victories: Spotting Impossible Moments of Grace by Anne Lamott (Christian Inspirational Nonfiction). In Small Victories, Lamott offers a new message of hope that celebrates the triumph of light over the darkness in our lives. Our victories over hardship and pain may seem small, she writes, but they change us-our perceptions, our perspectives, and our lives. Lamott writes of forgiveness, restoration, and transformation, how we can turn toward love even in the most hopeless situations, how we find the joy in getting lost and our amazement in finally being found.
• The Talk by Darrin Bell (2026 UWF Book to Read Young Adult). This graphic memoir by a winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning offers a deeply personal meditation on the “the talk” parents must have with Black children about racism and the brutality that often accompanies it, a ritual attempt to keep kids safe and prepare them for a world that-to paraphrase Toni Morrison-does not love them. Bell examines how “the talk” has shaped nearly every moment of his life into adulthood and fatherhood.
• Making Sense of the Bible by Adam Hamilton (Christian Inspirational and Bible Study). Denominations from evangelical to mainline continue to experience deep divisions over universal social issues. The underlying debate isn’t about a particular social issue, but instead it is about how we understand the nature of scripture and how we should interpret it. In Making Sense of the Bible, Adam Hamilton, one of the country’s leading pastors and Christian authors, addresses the hot-button issues that plague the church and cultural debate, and answers many of the questions frequently asked by Christians and non-Christians alike.

Don’t miss the Library Book Club discussion led by our own Missy Tippens on her book, A Forever Christmas, on Monday, November 17th, at 10am in room F145, located on the 1st floor of the Sheldon Family Life Center.

The library is located on the 2nd floor of the Sheldon Family Life Center. If the church is open, the library is open. If you have any questions, please contact our amazing library volunteers by e-mail at library@duluthumc.org.
