NOTE FROM THE LIBRARY:
Elmira native, Malcom Gladwell has written several books. The most recent is David and Goliath which is now in our library.
In David and Goliath, Malcom challenges how we think about obstacles and disadvantages, offering a new interpretation of what it means to be discriminated against, or suffer from a disability, or loose a parent, or attend a mediocre school, or experience any number of other apparent setbacks. Malcom draws upon history, psychology, and powerful storytelling to reshape the way we think of the world around us.
Other books in our library by Gladwell are The Tipping Point, Blink and What the Dog Saw.
Thursday, May 26th Dr. John Bowen will speak at Crieff Hills Retreat and Conference Centre on the topic “Roots and Wings: Being Church in the 21st Century.” Dr. Bowen will share about new ways to touch communities with the Gospels.
