We are pleased to announce the completion of our new book: Faith on the Mountain: Spiritual Stories from the Bonny Doon Church.
This is a collection of personal stories written by members of the Bonny Doon Church. In it many of us share our unique spiritual journeys, how we came to believe in God and Jesus, and how He has patiently lead us, taught us, and watched over us in love throughout our lives. Along the way we also share songs and poems written by church members and a history of the Church and its place within our precious Bonny Doon Community.
The idea for this book came to Barbara Gaskell, when she saw a similar book published by another church she attended years ago. She enlisted the help of her special friend, Helen Gibbons, a newly retired science writer and editor with the USGS. Together, the two of them solicited stories from willing church members and in some cases conducted interviews in person and over zoom. After a years work, the book was nearly finished when the CZU fire complex caused Barbara to evacuate to Helen’s house in Mountain View. There the two of them spent part of that anxious time proof reading the final version. It was a delightfully cheerful thing to do during such a scary time.
If you live locally and would like a copy of this book, you can pick one up at the church for free, either during Higher Grounds, or after the Sunday outdoor service. If you live far away, the book is available on Amazon.
