  • Virtues, such as Joy, Hope, Love...

  • Writings, such as those of Margaret Silf, Joyce Rupp, Pope Francis...

  • Prayer practices, such as Journaling, Christian Meditation, Centering Prayer, Sabbath Time, Solitude...

  • Creativity in Prayer...

SpiritualBook Clubs

With all participants using the same book, meetings are held on a regular basis - weekly or monthly - to discuss designated chapters. Discussions are based on faith-sharing practices, rather than "surface" talk about the book. This means that chapters are read reflectively, and often questions are provided for consideration. Sharing is then based on those reflection experiences.

Authors might include:

  • Margaret Silf

  • Henri Nouwen

  • Christine Valters Paintner

  • Joyce Rupp

  • Ron Rolheiser

  • Sue Monk Kidd

  • Joan Chittister

  • Richard Rohr

  • ... again, the list goes on!
