Opening Windows: Glimpses of Grace was born when its four editors invited the congregation of West Vancouver to submit prose or poetry describing inspirational people or significant moments in their lives.
“Ours is a small congregation, just over 100, but our hall was filled [on the night of our book launch] with writers, congregants and friends,” said editor Cathy Sosnowsky. “Friends who are not church-goers purchased books, and responses were that they didn’t realize how rich an experience belonging to a church community could be.”
Funds raised from the sale of the 166-page book will go to the North Shore Crisis Services Society, which works to eliminate violence in homes and provides protection for abused women and children.
Copies can be purchased for $19.95 through the WMS Book Room.
