In this month of May we have a special day to celebrate our mothers. And to those of us who were blessed to be mothers, we get to be cele-brated. As a daughter, I treas-ure my mother. I appreciate who she is and every-thing she has done for me. As a granddaughter I feel very simi-larly to my grandma. I have so much love and respect I have for these two women and on mothers day, I want to make sure they know.

This time of year always make me think of Mary, the mother of Jesus. Just think of all the sacrifices Mary made. We know

that Jesus was not her only child, however; she had to share Jesus nearly all his life. She was charged with raising a boy who with each passing day learned more than she knew and had gifts beyond her physical under-standing.

To show his respect for his mother Jesus gave to us from the cross.

Jesus called her "Mother" and he entrusted her, as one of his last and greatest gifts to his beloved disciple and to the entire Church with these tender words of entrustment in the Gospel of John: "When Jesus saw his mother and the

JOY’s Book Club Feature Book

May Feature Book

The Kite Runner

The first novel by Afghan-American author Khaled Hosseini. Published in 2003 by Riverhead Books, it tells the story of Amir, a young boy from the Wazir Akbar Khan district of Kabul, whose closest friend is Hassan, his father's young Hazara serv-ant. The story is set against a backdrop of tumultuous events, from the fall of Afghanistan's monarchy through the Soviet mili-tary intervention, the exodus of refugees to Pakistan and the United States, and the rise of the Taliban regime. Hosseini has commented that he considers The Kite Runner to be a father–son story, emphasizing the familial aspects of the narrative, an ele-ment that he continued to use in his later works. Themes of guilt and redemption feature prominently in the novel, with a pivotal scene depicting an act of violence against Hassan that Amir fails to prevent. The latter half of the book centers on Amir's attempts to atone for this transgression.

When God Doesn’t Fix It

Worship leader and recording artist Laura Story’s life took an unexpected

turn when her husband, Martin, was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Their

lives would never be the same. Yes, with God all things are possible. But

the devastating news was that no cure existed to restore Martin’s short-term

memory, eyesight, and other complications. The fairy-tale life Laura had

dreamed of was no longer possible. And yet in struggling with God about

how to live with broken dreams, Laura has found joy and a deeper intimacy

with Jesus. Laura helps us understand we aren’t the only ones whose lives

have taken unexpected turns. She examines the brokenness of some of the

heroes of our faith, and shows how despite their flaws and flawed stories,

God was able to use them in extraordinary ways. And it was not because of

their faith, but because of the faithfulness of their God. God may not fix

everything. In fact, although your situation might not ever change or get bet-

ter, with Jesus you can.
