Women’s Book Club

FaithPoint Women’s Ministry began the Book Club during the pandemic in the summer of 2020 as a way for us to stay connected to one another.  We have continued the book club and read 10 Christian books a year, alternating between Fiction, Biography and Christian Living books.  Women join in whenever they have availability or the desire to read the selected book.

April  – Christian Biography

The Insanity of God: a true story of faith resurrected by Nik Ripkin

The personal and lifelong journey of an ordinary couple from rural Kentucky who thought they were going on just your ordinary missionary pilgrimage, but discovered it would be anything but. After spending over six hard years doing relief work in Somalia, the couple had a crisis of faith and left Africa asking God, “Does the gospel work anywhere when it is really a hard place?  It sure didn’t work in Somalia.  Nik recalls that, “God had always been so real to me, to Ruth, and to our boys. But was He enough, for the utter weariness of soul I experienced at that time, in that place, under those circumstances?” It is a question that many have asked and one that, if answered, can lead us to a whole new world of faith.

I have two copies of this book from Christianbook.com available for $8.50 and can order more.  It is available electronically on Libby through Scott County Library.  It is currently $8.57 on Amazon.  Just let me know if you need me to order it for you.

May/June – Christian Living

Reactivity:  how the gospel transforms our actions and reactions by Paul David Tripp

Paul Tripp is a well-known author (30+ books).  When I came across this deal for this book, I thought it was too narrow of a topic at first.  But after listening to a portion of it on my audio app, the principles are so Gospel-centered and rooted that we can apply this to all relationships. His Christ-centered approach is applicable all over as we recognize the increasing toxicity in our culture!  Tripp says, “My hope is that looking at what we say to one another and how we are saying it through the lens of the gospel will not just inform us, but will also convict and transform us.

How easy it is for us to react and not pause to consider how self, cultural norms, and sin gets in the way of navigating relationships with Christlikeness.  Lots of practical help in this little book.

I purchased 10 of them at $2 each.  I can order more if folks are interested in this one.
