Riverside BookClub

On Saturday, April 8, 2023, at 11:00 A.M., The Riverside Church Book Club will discuss Shauna Niequist’s I Guess i haven’t learned that yet – Discovering New Ways of Living When the Old Ways Stop Working. According to Annie Downs, New York Times Best Selling Author of That Sounds Fun:

“When everything we’ve been clinging to falls apart, how do we know what to keep and what to let go of? I Guess I Haven’t Learned That Yet, now a New York Times bestseller, is a clear-eyed look at where we go from here–and how we can transform our lives along the way…. With her characteristic candor and grace, Niequist writes about her experience learning how to:
• Discover new ways of living when the old ways stop working;
• Embrace the challenges and delights of releasing our expectations for how we thought our lives would look;
• Trust God’s goodness in a deeper, more profound way.
