Book Club


Book Club Coordinator: Kh. Pam Pier - Email
The Book Club meets about once a month to discuss Christian classics, apologetics, and other books of interest to the group. Please check our Calendar for information about the next meeting.

From a Book Club participant:
"Everyone is invited to the St. John's Book Club, whether you have read the book or not. The discussion is always good. We not only talk about the book, but also reflect and compare it to other books or personal experiences. We ask and answer questions, such as Did we like the book? What was special? Would we recommend the book? If so, to whom? It is nothing in-depth or super-analytical, after all, we only have one or one-and-a-half hours. We conclude the evening with some fellowship, and usually there is some wine or a special dessert or snack." ​

Truth Matters, Life Matters More: The Unexpected Beauty of an Authentic Christian Life
​
Author, Hank Hanegraaff
​
Is there more to the Christian life than what you’re currently experiencing?  Leading Christian apologist Hank Hanegraaff has dedicated his life to defending truth, because truth matters. However, his life and ministry were radically transformed by this three-word phrase: life matters more. 

In essence, Truth Matters, Life Matters More is two books in one. Because truth matters, part 1 explicates the essentials of the Christian faith in a memorable way to equip readers to communicate Christian truth. In part 2, Hank explains why life matters more and how we can experience the height of human existence—union with God. Simply put, the map is not the territory. The menu is not the meal. We cheat ourselves of unadulterated union with Christ when we elevate the message above the Messenger. 

Truth Matters, Life Matters More is a modern classic and the magnum opus of one of the great theological minds of our time. Prepare to discover the unexpected beauty of an authentic Christian life.
