Book Reflections

During her time at FLC, Intern Miranda read and wrote reflections on 7 books about theology and faith as a way of continuing her own education as well as engaging in intentional conversation with members of the congregation. They were originally published in the monthly newsletters and are archived here for your convenience.
​If you have read any of these books and would like to discuss them with Intern Miranda, you are encouraged to email her  to set up a time to talk before she leaves in August.
