Have you ever wanted to read the Christian Classics, but didn’t want to do it alone?

That’s why two friends, Lori Behrens & Christy Miller Bell decided to start a book club! What started as a couple of conversations over coffee ended up being an entire podcast and we’re excited to share it with you!

Join us each week as we discuss the themes of our monthly Christian classic book, the timeless truths that emerge, and how God continues to use the book to help shape our faith.

Sign me up for the book club!
