December 30, 2020 By Allison Sandlin Liles Leave a Comment

I think this season of the Good Book Club will be especially appropriate for families with younger children for a number reasons.

A Hope-Sustaining and Lovely Time with the Good Book Club

February 21, 2020 By Sara Irwin 1 Comment

I was pretty clear with myself that I didn’t think it would be an easy practice to take on reading daily scripture together, I was hopeful. And, in fact, it has been a hope-sustaining and lovely time.

What happens when a youth group reads the Book of John for The Good Book Club? It’s hectic, chaotic, and perfect.

Our Family’s Guide for the Good Book Club

January 25, 2020 By Emily Watkins

I love Epiphany.  I love the stories of the Magi, Anna, Simeon, Paul, Peter, the wedding guests, and others who realize who Jesus is and why he has come.

When the kids become the teachers

January 9, 2020 By Allison Sandlin Liles Leave a Comment

We are three days into the Good Book Club and so far, we are batting three for three in the Liles household. It feels like a heroic accomplishment during this first week back to school after winter break.

Getting Ready to Get Down with the Gospel of John

January 4, 2020 By Sara Irwin Leave a Comment

I had a friend once observe about Lenten disciplines that, while they shouldn’t be used as just another way to try to address our bad habits, there was some comfort in trying out a discipline without the pressure of “forever.”

Formation Resources for the Gospel of John

December 30, 2019 By Katherine Malloy Leave a Comment

Each year, the Good Book Club invites Christians to read one book of the Bible from start to finish. For those of us accustomed to hearing short passages of scripture from different sections of the Bible each Sunday in the lectionary, it can be a powerful experience to consider a book of the Bible in its entirety.

Roman Rewards

March 5, 2019 By Emily Watkins 1 Comment

In my day job I teach bible stories to 250 kids every week and after I tell a story to each group of twenty students we wonder about it together. I am continually amazed at how deep my students are willing to delve and what amazing insights they have to offer.
