What is your book club reading this year? My church, Neland Avenue CRC in Grand Rapids, Mich., has a book club for women. This summer we put together our list for the coming year. We try to create a mix of fiction and nonfiction, spiritual and secular, young adult and classic.
The Banner would like to hear from you—what’s your book club reading? Is it a church club or a group of friends? How do you choose titles? What books have generated the best discussions? Inquiring minds want to know! Here’s the Neland list:

How to Save a Life, by Sara Zarr
Bonhoeffer, by Eric Metaxas
