A book club for women.
The Shared Shelf is a book club for women through FAC, meeting every 3rd month* to discuss a non-fiction (and an occasional fiction) book written by a female author, either Christian or secular. The vision for this group is to offer a safe place to build critical biblical thinking as a filter for the information we take in, to ask hard questions of each other, and the authors whose books we’ll read.
Get Connected!
Please note we don’t meet in June, July, August, or December, but you’re invited to read the book below this summer in preparation for our next gathering in the fall! Please have the book read before our next discussion date to participate:
Resuming September 18, 2024
Wednesdays, 7:00 pm, Meeting Place 1, FAC Deerfoot
There’s no cost, but you’ll need to source your own copy of the book.
Summer Read: All My Knotted Up Life by Beth Moore
(Themes: overcoming abuse, addiction, and the challenges of growing up poor)
Overview: Told with surprising candour about some of the personal heartbreaks and behind-the-scenes challenges that have marked Beth Moore’s life. But beyond that, it’s a beautifully crafted portrait of resilience and survival, a poignant reminder of God’s enduring faithfulness, and proof positive that if we ever truly took the time to hear people’s full stories … we’d all walk around slack-jawed.
Available on Amazon and the Calgary Public Library.
“By wisdom the Lord founded the earth;.
by understanding he created the heavens.
By his knowledge the deep fountains of the earth burst forth,
and the dew settles beneath the night sky.
My child, don’t lose sight of common sense and discernment.
Hang on to them,
for they will refresh your soul.
They are like jewels on a necklace.
They keep you safe on your way,
and your feet will not stumble.”
(Proverb 3:19-23)
