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 Screwtape Letters
C.S.Lewis
A milestone in the history of popular theology, ‘The Screwtape Letters’ is an iconic classic on spiritual warfare and the power of the devil.
This profound and striking narrative takes the form of a series of letters from Screwtape, a devil high in the Infernal Civil Service, to his nephew Wormwood, a junior colleague engaged in his first mission on earth trying to secure the damnation of a young man who has just become a Christian. Although the young man initially looks to be a willing victim, he changes his ways and is ‘lost’ to the young devil.
Dedicated to Lewis’s friend and colleague J.R.R. Tolkien, ‘The Screwtape Letters’ is a timeless classic on spiritual conflict and the invisible realities which are part of our religious experience.
