'Carry On, Warrior': Waltham Library's Inspiring Book Series
The Initiating Inspiration Book Group meets regularly.

March 26, 2018
The Waltham Public Libraryβs Initiating Inspiration Book Group met Monday night in the lecture hall. The group meets regularly βto offer a thoughtful mixture of self-empowering and spiritually inspired pieces of literature,β and welcomes all readers.
Mondayβs book of exploration was βCarry On, Warriorβ by Glennon Doyle Melton. It is a personal and brazen memoir of one woman who chose the bravery of openness rather than the cowardice of the faΓ§ade of a perfect life.

One quote which resonated with participants in the group was, βI donβt want to take anything to the grave. I want to die used up and emptied out. I donβt want to carry around anything that I donβt have to. I want to travel light.β In a culture of ever-increasing dispute with diversity, and daily tragedies amongst normal lives, this message of unabashed openness stood out.
Copies of βCarry on Warriorβ can be borrowed from the Waltham Public Library.
