You're invited to the kick-off of our Christian fiction book club on
Tuesday, August 21. Christian fiction covers a wide range of genres and
viewpoints, all centering around a relationship with Christ. From mysteries
to science fiction and romances, our book club will share and explore the
best Christian fiction has to offer.
During our kick-off, we'll feature some excellent books by award-winning
author Angela Elwell Hunt. Ms. Hunt has written the bestsellers "The
Justice" and "The Debt". Both of these books are in the Bookshare collection
ready for download. We'll be discussing these books as well as others you
have read. We'll decide which book we'll read as a club, set a time for our
meetings, and get to know each other too. Invite a friend and bring your
mug for some virtual cappuccino.

Time: 5:00 p.m. Pacific, 6:00 p.m. Mountain, 7:00 p.m. Central, 8:00 p.m.
