Women’s Book Club

FaithPoint Women’s Ministry began the Book Club during the pandemic in the summer of 2020 as a way for us to stay connected to one another. We have continued the book club and read 10 Christian books a year, alternating between Fiction, Biography and Christian Living books. Women join in whenever they have availability or the desire to read the selected book.

November/December (Christmas themed)

The 13th Gift by Joanne Hunt Smith

The 13th Gift, a heartwarming Christmas story about how a random act of kindness transformed one of the bleakest moments in a family’s history into a time of strength and love. After the unexpected death of her husband, Joanne Huist Smith had no idea how she would keep herself together and be strong for her three children–especially with the holiday season approaching. But 12 days before Christmas, presents begin appearing on her doorstep with notes from their “True Friends.” As the Smiths came together to solve the mystery of who the gifts were from, they began to thaw out from their grief and come together again as a family. This true story about the power of random acts of kindness will warm the heart, a beautiful reminder of the miracles of Christmas and the gift of family during the holiday season.

Discussion:  Saturday, December 5 (9am)  Note the different day of the month of our meeting, due to Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays at the end of the month.  

 
 
Mostly What God Does by Savannah Guthrie
This was written and released a year before the abduction of her mom.  Savannah is a co-anchor of the NBC News morning show Today.  This book is a perfect companion to your morning cup of coffee, it is not a memoir but a beautiful tapestry of reflections crafted as a spiritual manual.  It is 31 short chapters. (Perfect for one a day in the month of January.)  It includes a fresh, biblically rooted look at six essentials of faith: love, presence, grace, hope, gratitude, and purpose. Savannah honestly explores questions, doubts, and fears about the love of God.  
Available at Scott County Library as a book and on Libby as eBook and audio. 
 
New books in hardcover and paperback are each just under $10 on Amazon
Thriftbooks have gently used hardcovers at $5- $6, but used paperbacks are almost as much as new.
 
Let me know by Thursday, Nov 5 if you want a gently used copy from Thriftbooks.  
Discussion:  Saturday, January 30 at 9am in the Conference Room
 
 
The Facebook Group site is updated on our FaithPoint Facebook page. Here is the link to join if you are interested in it –  a place to get reminders of the books and discuss and comment on what we are reading.  https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1GbEiD4dbY/
