As people of "The Book" we believe that reading helps us to know the world, to know ourselves and to know God. We have men's and women's book groups interested in exercising our minds and connecting with others who are looking for Gods grace, both common and particular, in great literature. Keep up with us here at the blog or better yet, join us for our next meeting!

The Island of Dr. Moreau - H.G. Wells
For being a very short novel (a novella I guess) this story was very
good and felt complete. I very much enjoyed the story as mere entertainment
as Wells is a good writer who can pique the imagination without being
overly verbose. There is a lot to consider in the philosophy of Wells
that comes through the story as well; such as, the meaning and origin of
humanness, and the basic equality in humanity, what governs human
behavior and so forth. I think I would wholly disagree with Wells on the
answers to those questions but the story is a great way to stimulate
the ideas and conversation on the topic.
