Program Details

We invite you to a book reading and author night with Rev. Steve Garnaas-Holmes on Saturday, August 15th as he introduces his latest book, Outburst of Hope: Poems for Courage.  Outburst of Hope is a collection of poems that offer words of encouragement for people seeking justice in fraught times. Hope isn't wishing, it's acting in trust of the invisible but always present grace that heals and connects all living beings. This second book by Steve reflects on the hidden energy that brings harmony even to a world full of oppression and injustice.

Join us first for an optional dinner with Steve from 6:00-7:00 pm.

And then join us in-person or online for Author Night from 7:00-8:30 pm.  If you are interested in staying Saturday night into Sunday, please email Marin Clarke (see contact info in right column) to reserve a room.

For those who join us at the Ridge, books will be for sale the evening of the event, and Steve will be available for signing.

There is a minimal charge of $25 for dinner. There is no fee to register for the book reading. Your generous donation to the mission and ministry of Rolling Ridge will be greatly appreciated.
