September selection: Christian Reflections by C.S. Lewis
Shortly after his conversion in 1929, C. S. Lewis wrote to a friend, “When all is said (and truly said) about the divisions of Christendom, there remains, by God’s mercy, an enormous common ground.” He then set out to explain and defend the beliefs that have been common to nearly all Christians at all times.
October selection: The Turn of the Screw by Henry James. More than just a simple tale of the supernatural, James poses questions about childhood innocence, corruption and hysteria. The story focuses on a naïve governess who takes charge of two children at the lonely house of Bly. When she begins to see ghosts, she believes that the children do too, with devastating consequences.
November selection: TBA
Copies of this selection can be checked out with no waiting as an eBook here on Hoopla.
