Wonderful Words ... and the World's Best Book Club

Each month, I usually attend at least one book club. On some occasions, I have attended three. Yes, that is a lot  of reading. Book selections range from mystery, historical fiction, biographies, psychological thrillers, and non-fiction. Some of the most compelling books are nonfiction.  Real life events that seem made for television, yet real life is often stranger than fiction. Exploitation, murder, love, redemption, the real nitty gritty stuff of real life. 

Over the past ten years, I have also been a part of  BSF (Bible Study Fellowship) .Yes, the Bible has themes of betrayal, birth, poverty, racism, tribalism, boundaries, wisdom, addiction, hatred, love, sacrifice, rejection, acceptance, life, death, surrender, poetry, songs, and the common theme from Genesis to Revelation: Jesus.

Going strong for over fifty years,  BSF has grown to transform the lives of millions of women and men . We are members of the largest and best book club in the world. Each week, people from 70 countries meet to discuss and grapple with the truths and what how ancient words intersects and impacts  daily our lives.

Words that bring joy when there is sadness, words that bring hope to those who are in despair, words that comfort those who grieve, words that offer joy, words that offer instruction, and words of eternal truth. 

Indeed. Wonderful Words

In September of 2019, BSF will begin the study of the Acts and Letters of the Apostles . Mark your calendar. Visit their website to locate a class near you. Daily readings and  weekly group discussions make this a one Book Club you will love as it transforms your life.  Visit their site by clicking on here BSF


I love these words from the Gospel of John.

“In the beginning was the Word,  and the word was with God,  and the Word was God.”
John 1:1 (NIV)
