Welcome to the Christian Book Club

February 28th, 2008 • stephenlawes • 0 comments • Related • Filed Under

The Christian Book Club is a place for people who enjoy reading to get together online and share their thoughts and questions. On the first of each month a new book and a new round of discussion is started. The book being read is divided into four sections and at the beginning of each week a new discussion ensues. All you need to do is come to the site whenever you can during that week and add your own comments and also respond to the comments of others. The Christian Book Club operates at its best when you participate with your comments. We will read old classics, new offerings, and even from time to time some books that are kicking up a little controversy. A book being selected for club reading is not necessarily an endorsement of the book. You are free to agree and disagree with the authors. The hope is to be able to read from a wide range of Christian thought.

Christian Book Club Books

To find out what books we are reading currently and in the months ahead go to the Christian Book Club Books page. If you don’t already have the book you can order it right there by clicking on the icon of the book. You will then be directed to either the Amazon.com or CBD.com sites where you can make arrangements to get your copy.

Questions or Suggestions

If you have any questions about how the club works or you would like to make suggestions about books you would like to see the club read, go to the Contact page and fill out the information on the form. We will answer your questions and appreciate your suggestions.
