Invitation to "Self Portrait" Book Study (UPDATED)

As you all may know, I have been leading a men's faith-sharing small group these past few years, called the Weary Travelers. We spawn from Exodus90 and have done book studies on "The Father's Son", "Gus Busbi", and, recently completed, "Stolen Blessing."

I am starting another book study during Lent in the spring of 2024. Consider this an invitation for all men who are not doing Exodus90 to join us. The Weary Travelers could be an alternative to Exodus90.

Here is a link to the Weary Travelers page on the parish web-site: https://saintalbert.org/weary-travelers.

Here is a link to the author's web-site on the novel "Self Portrait": https://www.jimsano.com/self-portrait.

In case you have not participated in a small group at St. Albert, we start with sharing of graces during the well, intentional prayers, and then we go into the book study. Let me know if you would like to join us.
. . .
UPDATE (1/10/2024): We currently have 5 men who have signed up to participate in the "Self Portrait" book study and men's faith-sharing small group during Lent. We will meet on the following evenings to discuss the chapters listed below. 
  • Feb. 13th (Chapters 1 to 8)
  • Feb. 20th (Chapters 9 to 16)
  • March 5th (Chapters 17 to 24)
  • March 19th (Chapters 25 to 32)
Please email me at deaconphuc@saintalbert.org if you are interested in joining us. You will also need to purchase your own copy of "Self Portrait", which is available on the author's web-site and on Amazon.

The only "rule" is, since we are a small group, for the experience to be enriching for everyone, it is important that we are all present at these four meetings so we can share varying perspectives and thoughts on the chapters. It is only 4 evenings during Lent so hopefully it is not a strain on anyone's schedule.
