Christian Book Club Books

These are the books we will be reading in the months ahead. We will start each book on the 1st day of the month it is listed. Order early so you have your book when we start. This year we will be reading some old classics, some new classics and even a book that is a little controversial. Please note that just because the book is in the club it does not serve as an endorsement. You are free to agree or disagree with what the book is about. The goal is to read a wide range of Christian thought. If you have questions about the Christian Book Club you should go to the About page for more information or contact us at the Contact page.

The Shack
By William P. Young / Windblown Media

“Mack” Philips took his three children on a family camping trip while his wife visited her sister. Just as they were about to leave the campsite, the two older kids decided to take a last canoe ride before heading home. As their canoe overturned, and Mack went to help them, his back was turned and the unspeakable happened. Mack’s youngest daughter,Missy, was abducted by a known child predator. After a massive search, evidence of Missy showed up at an abandoned cabin. Although they never found her body, everyone knew the worst had happened. For the next four years “a great sadness” fell over Mack and his family, until a note from God showed up in his mailbox. What happens next will move you to a greater understanding of God’s unfailing love for us all.
