At the end of our last book club conference call, several people were interested in the complete list of all the books we read during our four years of book discussions. Here, in the order we read them, is a list of the 41 books we read. Everyone involved has their favorites, and their not-so-favorites. We encourage you to look at the list, read a few, and decide for yourself. We found it to be a rewarding learning experience!!

What an engaged, spiritually committed and aware group of people in the Fellowship! So glad to have gotten to know you. Thank you for all that you’ve given to this activity. We will continue to be fellow travelers. Always want to stay connected with fellow travelers…
What an impressive list of books! Thanks for all your work in getting this group up and running….then carrying on through the years. Since I’ve only read a few of these books, I’m going to copy the list and see if I can find some of these. Here’s to new reading adventures ahead!
Thanks for your kind words, Karla and Melody!! This was an experience we all enjoyed and gained so much from. Hopefully this list will be a catalyst for more reading and thoughtful discussions with new friends!
