About this event

Come chat with local author David Gibides. He will be in the main room of the library from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. to talk with about his book Delivered: I Delivered Jesus Then He Delivered Me.

Book synopsis:

When Saphira, a skeptical and resilient young woman in Bethlehem, helps deliver a child destined to change the world, her life becomes irrevocably intertwined with both miracle and tragedy. Her journey forces her to endure loss, exile, and the test of faith until she seeks healing decades later from the very man whose birth shattered and remade her world. Through kindness, chosen family, miraculous healing, and the voice of a teacher who speaks life into despair, she endures. Rich in tenderness and spiritual depth, her story reveals how broken hearts, though scarred by suffering, may still find belonging, renewal, and, most of all—hope.
