Authors' Reading of Regeneration!

Monday at 4 PM on January 25th, 2010

Swilley Library Coffee Lounge
Mercer University Atlanta

Come celebrate, smile, laugh, and cry with five Regeneration Writers of Mercer University’s College of Continuing & Professional Studies as they read from their new book: Regeneration: A Journal of Creative Writing. These are brutally honest stories and poems of their faith, their faltering, their despair, doubts, triumphs, and regeneration—sometimes embroidered, sometimes in part, but always engaging.

The five featured writers are;

• Dr. Priscilla Danheiser, Dean, College of Continuing and Professional Studies
• Dr. Duane Davis, Professor Emeritus of Religion and Philosophy, CCPS
• Dr. Margaret Eskew, Associate Professor of English, CCPS
• CCPS students Barbara Sellers and Dania Roker.

Drop whatever you are doing and make your way to the Swilley Library at 4 PM on January 25th. You will not want to miss Regeneration!

Light refreshments will be available.
