ECUMENICAL AND CHRISTIAN

Have you ever wanted to read a truly good book but were turned off by the millions offered in Books A Million? Or, were you ever  thoroughly excited about a book you have read but had no one with whom to discuss it?  Our Christian Book Club is unique in that our members come from many different churches in Lakeland and we offer books that have positive values, intriguing plots, unusual settings and uplifting discussions about a variety of cultures written by authors of note.

Our selections are made democratically and we encourage all  members to bring new books to our attention. Some books we have read recently include: Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen; three books by Silas House: A Parchment of Leaves; Clay's Quilt and Coal Tattoo; Three Cups of Tea by Greg Morganstern; The Help by Kathryn Stockett; Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout; The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini; The Camel Bookmobile by Marsha Hamilton; The Hotel at the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford; Amish Grace by Donald Kraybill, et al., and many others. 

In addition to the book that we choose for our monthly  discussion, our members often trade other books to read as well, so there is an abundance of great information on current literature available to all of us.

We meet every third Monday at Mitchell's Coffee House, 235 N. Kentucky Ave., Lakeland from 10:30 am -12:30 pm for brunch and discussions, which begin at 11:00 AM. Parking is good.
