A book club reveal this epic needs its own episode ...

Lounge-alum Bri rejoins the Ladies to wrap up their book club discussion of Little Women with style, flair — and an all-new original Bri’s Radio Theatre audio play imagining Meg, Jo, and Amy March at the LCMS National Youth Gathering (chaperoned, of course, by our old friend DCE Dana, the overworked church worker).

But wait ... who’s that mysterious voice playing Marmee March?

IT’S AUTHOR KATIE SCHUERMANN, here to help us announce the release of her new novel (our next Lutheran Ladies’ Book Club pick): The Saints of Whistle Grove.

From the publisher:

After 150 years of preaching the Gospel, the little country parish of Whistle Grove has closed its doors for good, but the faithful Rev. Edmund G. Oglethorpe remains. There is the empty building and the crumbling cemetery to maintain, and who else will bury old Miriam Werth when the time comes?

Told through the voices of generations past and present, The Saints of Whistle Grove follows the journey of a son in search of his mother, a daughter in need of connection, a family without a home, and the cemetery that brings them all together.

Join the blessed saints of Whistle Grove in pondering the wondrous mystery that, whoever believes in Christ, “though he die, yet shall he live.”
