BETWEEN Book Club is about sacred connection… and few things spark that connection like reading something profound, then wondering about it together.

We believe books can be holy ground… not because of the paper or the binding, but because of what happens when hearts crack open at the same time.

Our main BETWEEN Book Club meets digitally and welcomes people from all over the globe.

Christmas is a global celebration wrapped in nostalgia and tradition. The movies we return to each year, the carols we know by heart, and the rituals we repeat connect us to Christmases past and to one another. Yet beneath these familiar layers lies a story rooted in real life, unfolding in a specific time and place. To experience the enduring power of the Christmas story today, we must first understand what it meant then before we can discern what this sacred story offers our own moment.

This four-week Advent study invites you into the historical and cultural world of the nativity narratives in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. Explore how the birth of Jesus fulfills Old Testament hopes, revealing God entering human history as the Word made flesh. Guided by Josh Scott, you’ll discover how reading these texts in their original context opens fresh meaning for contemporary faith, illuminating the gifts and challenges of Christmas for our lives today.

FAQs

What if I didn’t read the “assigned” chapters?

Yep. Jump in whenever. We just want to have you join us.

What if I miss a session or two?

Friend, it’s totally okay. We didn’t start this book club to make you feel pressured or guilty or stressed. We like it when you participate. And we know we all have busy lives. Start whenever. Re-start whenever. Stop whenever. No worries.

Can I listen to the audiobook instead?

Oh, absolutely! Audiobooks are books. Whoever suggests otherwise is silly.

Books About Faith & Human Connection. Books that seem interesting to us. Books we have read. And Books we might read.
