Join us for a monthly virtual book group. We will read fun, heartwarming books that reflect God through faith-filled characters and content. Then we will gather over Zoom with the author to discuss them.
Why Christian Fiction?
As a voracious reader, I was looking for characters that reflected my world view. Wouldn't it be great if characters talked about their faith, went to church, and prayed as they worked through challenges? I discovered an entire genre of books just like that.
Each month, we read one book and then gather to meet the author behind the story. Each author has their own story, and it is fascinating to learn about them.
There are two ways to participate.
Check out what we're currently reading below, and see our past reads and recordings from our Zoom calls with the authors.
The Fable app allows us to read at our own pace and avoid spoilers. Join us there, or just read on your own and sign up to get the Zoom link each month.
Through Water and Stone
by Karen Barnett
In 1948, Zion National Park ranger Henry Eriksson and his wife, Alma, are less than one year removed from their infant son's sudden death in a flash flood, and the weight of the loss hasn't diminished with time. When Henry discovers an abandoned baby in a hatbox on his morning rounds, he's unsure how to react, but Alma is delighted, and she reignites with purpose at what seems to be a miracle from God.
Nearly eighty years later, Talia Eriksson leaves her job at an athleisure company in Palo Alto, California, in disgrace and returns to Zion National Park to reconnect with her grandfather and review her life goals. But when an at-home DNA test exposes family secrets, Talia and her newfound friend, law enforcement ranger Blake Mitchell, work together to search for answers.
Talia navigates the rocky path into her past with Blake by her side, what she discovers may alter everything she knew to be true about herself. With the uncertain future looming, Talia must learn that family is deeper than genetics and that trusting God can mean being still and clinging to the Rock.
