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.
Their Burden to Bear
by: Heather Tabers
In the shadow of a grieving nation, two broken souls are bound by duty, drawn together by circumstance, and tested by a love neither expected.
Washington, D.C., 1921. As America prepares to honor the first Unknown Soldier, Elsie St. Clair longs for freedom from her father’s cruel control and the chance to build a life of her own. Instead, she is forced into the spotlight of the upcoming ceremonies when she’s chosen to serve as companion to Gunnery Sergeant Phillip Pierce—a decorated Marine tasked with bearing the Unknown Soldier to his final rest.
Phillip is a war hero, but the medals pinned to his chest weigh heavy with loss and unspoken pain. To Elsie, his quiet strength and battle-hardened scars stir a hope she thought long dead: the hope of being truly seen and loved. Yet danger shadows their every step—from subtle whispers in the capital to the schemes of a jealous rival determined to come between them.
When Phillip offers Elsie a marriage of convenience, it seems a practical way to shield her from harm and keep his own heart untouched. But as they raise her orphaned nephew together, friendship blossoms into a tender bond neither can deny. Still, secrets from the past threaten to shatter the fragile peace they’ve found, forcing them to decide if they will cling to silence—or risk everything for the kind of love that bears all things.
