Would you like to read with me? 📚

📚 Excited to dive into our next book club read, "He Ment It For Good" by R. T. Kendall! We start on April 1st

My name is Jess, the founder of Mom Living Normally. I wanted to take the time to welcome you to our book club. This book club is typically Bible-related, and living as a believer, everyone is welcome no matter where you are in your journey. If you know someone you would like to join, please invite them!

There are no concrete rules to a book club; if you didn't read the chapters - still join. We focus more on a community than rigid rules and find that when we meet without rejection and shame in this safe place it becomes so much more than just book club #currentlyreading #bookclub #booksoflemon8 #lemon8bookclub
