For many of us men we are so often caught in the grind of daily living & work that we don‘t take the time to give to the most important areas of our life: Our Relationships with God & family. We can be so focused on DOING and forget to ask WHY? Am I living with PURPOSE? Am I leading life or am I existing?
6:8‘s Men‘s Community is a monthly gathering of Men from the greater Sauk Prairie community who are looking to not simply Survive this life but to Thrive by living with purpose.
We are Helping Men Grow Together: In our relationships with God, our significant others, our children, our extended families, our work and our friends.

Join us for our Winter Book Discussion of:
The Street Lawyer by John Grisham
Tuesday, July 29 - 6:30pm
Michael was in a hurry. He was scrambling up the ladder at Drake & Sweeney, a giant D.C. law firm with eight hundred lawyers. The money was good and getting better; a partnership was no more than three years away. He was a rising star with no time to waste, no time to stop, no time to toss a few coins into the cups of panhandlers. No time for a conscience.
Then a violent encounter with a homeless man stopped him cold. Michael survived, but his assailant did not. Who was this man? Michael did some digging and learned that his attacker was a mentally ill veteran who’d been in and out of shelters for many years. Then Michael dug a little deeper and found a dirty secret, and the secret involved Drake & Sweeney.
The fast track derailed, the ladder collapsed. Michael bolted the firm and took a top-secret file with him. He landed in the streets, an advocate for the homeless, a street lawyer. And a thief.
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Compelling . . . another timely tale from John Grisham. [The Street Lawyer] shows not only that Grisham has his finger on the public pulse but that he’s also out to prick its conscience.”—Chicago Tribune
