Every month Amy Newmark and Jane Spickett suggest some books related to the worship theme. This month, they’re including more titles because it’s summer — more time to read, hopefully!

For those of you who would like to connect a bit more with the theme of “Invitation,” here is this month’s selection.

• The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy (Rachel Joyce)

• That is Not a Good Idea! (Mo Willems)
• The Lion’s Share (Matthew McElligot)
• Tess’s Tree (Jess M. Brallier)

• The Big One-Oh (Dean Pitchford)
• Sarah, Plain and Tall (Patricia MacLachlan)
• A Fine White Dust (Cynthia Rylant)
• The Second Life of Abigail Walker (Frances O’Roark Dowell)
