Book Club is a place to connect, share, and grow through Christian books and conversation.
About every seven weeks, we select a new book for each of us to read individually. After this period, we come together to discuss and share our thoughts on the book. This practice encourages us to engage in meaningful conversations with people we don’t often have the chance to talk with. It also broadens our understanding by exposing us to a variety of books and authors from different backgrounds and perspectives.

The Greatest Story Ever Told
Bear Grylls
This is the incredible true story of a Galilean carpenter who changed the course of the world forever.
He lived and died over 2,000 years ago, fulfilling expectations that existed long before his birth. His birth had been mystically foretold by astrologers for hundreds of years, yet the rulers of his day dreaded his coming.
This humble builder-teacher became a magnet for the poor and down trodden, a symbol of love and mercy, who transformed the lives and restored the health and purpose in all who encountered him. The local elite and governing rulers eventually tortured him and put him to death in the most violent and public of ways. Yet that was only the beginning...
In the years since, billions of people have dedicated their lives to this man and have testified to his divinity and truth. To others, he is little more than another rebel who was killed by one of the most brutal empires in human history.
How we each respond to this story dictates the course of our lives. And it all rests on the great mystery that occurred at the end of his life - a supernatural event that he had predicted with utter clarity.
Did this humble man tell the truth?
Could one man really be the focal point of the universe?
This book invites readers who are exploring faith to encounter Jesus and consider who he truly is.
