STARTING IN JUNE, BOOK CLUB WILL GO TO ONCE EVERY TWO MONTHS. I’ve pm’d many of the book club participants & the general consensus is that many of our selections require more time to read, digest & discuss. Not to mention the pile of other books we all have & would like to read. ;) Let’s just see how it goes.

Discussion for our May title starts in a few weeks. Below is the Amazon link to the title.
“Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why” by Bart Ehrman
