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.
Of Love and Treason
by Jamie Ogle
2024 Christy Award Winner for Historical Romance!
Valentine defies the emperor and becomes a hero . . . and the most wanted man in the empire. Compelled by his faith, he has nothing to lose, until a chance encounter with the daughter of a Roman jailor changes everything.
Rome, AD 270. In the wake of the emperor’s marriage ban, rumors swirl that there is one man brave enough to perform wedding ceremonies in secret. A public notarius and leader of an underground church, Valentine believes the emperor’s edict unjust and risks his own life for the sake of his convictions. But as his fame grows, so do fears for his safety.
Iris, the daughter of a Roman jailor, believes regaining her sight will ease the mounting troubles at home. Her last hope rests in searching out Valentine and his church, but the danger of associating with people labeled a threat to the empire is great. Still, as Iris’s new friends lead her to faith in God, Iris is drawn to Valentine and they both begin to hope for a future together beyond the treacherous empire.
But when a past debt and a staggering betrayal collide, Valentine, Iris, and everyone they love must fight for their lives . . . and wrestle with trusting a God who can restore sight yet does not always keep His followers from peril.
