If you were to read a fiction title with your ministry group, what would you suggest?

Sarah
EDGE OF ETERNITY by Randy Alcorn

Our group once read LETTERS FOR EMILY by Camron Wright and it was a fantastic story about a man with Alzheimer's Disease, and the letters he wrote for his granddaughter, Emily. Very touching story!

I'd also recommend MEMOIRS OF PONTIUS PILATE by James R. Mills. It's a fictional account of the crucifixion story, but written from Pilate's point of view. For me, it brought the story "to life."

Lastly, Karen Kingsbury's book, ON EVERY SIDE, was a great read about the separation of church and state. There was also a small romance going on, too. It was good for sparking discussion!

CHANGE OF HEART by Jodi Picoult

Joy Hertzberg
DIVINE by Karen Kingsbury or WHISPERS OF THE BAYOU by Mindy Starns Clark

*****

Harry Ludwig
WHO'S AFRAID OF POSTMODERNISM? by James K. A. Smith (Baker, 2006).
I know it's supposed to be non-fiction, but it would be a good exercise to see how wacky the reasoning of new movements is and what to guard against.

REDEEMING LOVE by Francine Rivers

THE ROAD HOME by Tommy Tenney and Mark Andrew Olson --- it is an excellent book about faith, love, and family. It's a modern-day retelling of Ruth & Naomi, who go from Moab to Bethlehem. I enjoyed the characters, and the sites and insights along the road. A very good and inspirational read for any book group, as well as a great book to introduce the Bible to an unbeliever.

THE SHACK by William Young. This title could be for men and/or women in a book club. Also for a woman's book club, THE POTLUCK CLUB by Linda Evans Shepard, THE YADA YADA PRAYER GROUP and the Sister chicks Series is great too.
