This pagan holiday appropriated by the Christians and celebrated in many traditions has inspired Rev. Jobe to tell one of his favorite stories. Although he often recommends one book or another as, “One of the best books I ever read,” his read of this Martha Beck jewel is the one he most often advises folks to read who are searching for the guiding light in their lives. Rev. Jobe read it on a sailing ship. The first day on the ship the captain told the crew and guests, “We are turning off all GPS and navigating by the North Star.” Jobe took that as a sign he was reading the right book, Finding Your Own North Star.  (Sunday Services associate: Jennifer Giuffre)
