The Virginia Conference United Methodist Women has wonderful resources available in both print and video.
The Lending Library is open to anyone who wants to read books from the UMW Reading Library. The purpose of the Reading Program is to expand understanding of and participation in God's mission; to increase sensitivity to the needs, interests, and concerns of all human beings; to enhance self-knowledge and to act from that knowledge and to strengthen involvement in local and global Christian mission. Readers aren't expected to accept each word or idea contained in every book; some you will agree with, and some you won't. The idea is to be a knowledgeable and caring Christian about the issues of the day.
Lending Library Rules
The Library has books from 2006 through 2010. Books can be borrowed for six weeks, and the cost is limited to postage (usually under $3.00.) Visit
http://gbgm-umc.org/umw/resources/reading-program/
to learn more about the Reading Program and to see the current list of books.
