Book Club Connection

Welcome to the January 2018 edition of the Christian Fiction Book Club Connection. Thanks for stopping by!

Today I’m providing information on Christian fiction discussions scheduled to take place around the web this month.

One thought on “Christian Fiction Book Club Connection, January 2018

  1. Thanks again, Karen, for spotlighting By The Book. I am leading my second Faith And Fiction Bible Study at my church beginning in a few weeks. Here’s what we will be studying/reading — Nehemiah and On This Foundation by Lynn Austin, The Healing Miracles of Jesus and Madman by Tracy Groot, A Survey of The Prophets and Prophet by R.J. Larson.

    I appreciate this post every month. Love the emphasis on book clubs.
