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 Hiding Place
Corrie Ten Boom
The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom is a powerful true story of courage, faith, and resilience during one of history’s darkest periods. Set in Nazi-occupied Holland, the book follows Corrie, her close-knit family, and their quiet life as watchmakers, which is transformed when they choose to help Jewish people escape persecution. As the danger grows, the ten Booms create a secret hiding place in their home, risking everything to live out their moral convictions.
Through betrayal, imprisonment, and unimaginable suffering in concentration camps, Corrie’s story highlights the strength of compassion and the possibility of forgiveness even in the face of profound evil. Both heartbreaking and deeply hopeful, The Hiding Place invites readers to reflect on faith, bravery, and the cost of standing up for others.

The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer challenges readers to confront the pace of modern life and its impact on spiritual health. Drawing from Scripture, psychology, and personal experience, Comer argues that hurry is one of the greatest threats to a meaningful, Christ-centered life. He invites readers to slow down, practice silence, rest, and simplicity, and intentionally reorder their lives around the way of Jesus. The book is both a wake-up call and a practical guide to cultivating peace, presence, and deeper spiritual formation in an age of constant distraction.
