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.

September (Christian Fiction)
Theo of Golden by Allen Levi
This novel is written by a Christian author and contains clear Christian themes, including references to God, church, grace, redemption, and the image of God in people yet author Allen Levi has said he did not intend to write a book that would be marketed exclusively as Christian fiction. It is a Unforgettable story of giving and receiving, of seeing and being seen. It is about the power of generosity, the importance of connection, and the quiet miracles that happen when we choose kindness and wonder.
Discussion: Saturday, September 26 (9 am)
This is a Faith Stepping Stone Class date for our Bible Class at 9:30. Though I am reading the book and will plan to be at the start of the discussion, I will be asking someone else to lead this discussion.
October (Christian Biography/Memoir)
Into My Mother’s Hands by Ayaan Thomas
Several of us met Ayaan at the Marriage Retreat last February at Okoboji Lutheran Bible Camp. She and her husband attend a LCMC church in Spencer, IA. My husband read her memoir last April while we were on vacation and has been eager for me to read it. He is not a reader typically (unless it’s tractor manuals) LOL. However, after meeting Ayaan and starting her book on our flight, he was completely drawn into her story and finished it before we went home. She is such a sweet person, perhaps we could have her come here to visit sometime.
They say miracles are dead these days, but I don’t think that is true. I think people just don’t talk about them. Hello! My name is Ayaan Thomas, and I am a Somali-born, US citizen brought to America by a South African woman who was a doctor working with the United Nations. She worked in Somali at the time of my birth and went to great lengths so that I would be called her daughter!
Into My Mother’s Hands is a journey of a woman who was saved from almost being aborted in Somalia, was adopted and established a life for herself in the United States. While separated from her biological family due to a war, she found her identity in Christ! She yearned to find her birth mother while dealing with the repercussions of sexual assault. Through her time in the Air Force she not only fought for freedom, but found her soulmate. Together they had two boys biologically and adopted their daughter. In reading this story, you will see that even though life is hard, Jesus is the Hope!
I am still looking for some deals on this book. If you are Kindle/ebook reader – it is just $4. So far, I can purchase these for $12 new. Let me know if you are interested and I’ll order them together.
Discussion: Saturday, October 31 (9am)
