The Reading Program Leads to Action!
For 150 years, members of United Methodist Women and predecessor organiza-
tions have been involved in mission that includes prayer, study and action. The
Reading Program is a study opportunity, but it should also lead to action. Here
are a few suggestions to assist you:

B      Bonus Books
       Bonus Books count as two books: either as two books in Education for
       Mission or Social Action, or as one book in either of those two categories.
       For example, Walking on Lava and Nobody Cries When We Die count as
       two books in Social Action.

¡El Programa de Lectura Conduce a la Acción!
Durante casi 150 años, la membresía de Mujeres Metodistas Unidas y sus
organizaciones anteriores han estado comprometidas en una misión que incluye
la oración, el estudio y la acción. El Programa de Lectura es una oportunidad
de estudio, que también debería impulsar a la acción. Ofrecemos aquí algunas
sugerencias orientadoras:

독서 프로그램은 행동으로 이끈다!
연합감리교회 여선교회와 전신 기관들의 회원들은 150년 동안 기도와, 공부와 행동으로
선교에 참여해왔다. 독서 프로그램은 공부할 좋은 기회이다. 독서 프로그램은 또한
공부뿐만 아니라 행동으로 옮길 수 있도록 이끌어 주기도 한다. 여러분이 책을 읽고 난 뒤,
읽은 내용을 행동으로 옮기고 싶다면 다음과 같은 일을 해보기 바란다.
