Book Club
Selections for 2025

 

All Nations Book Club has two options for attendance: I hope that two meeting times will make it possible for more people to take part in the discussions. I ask you to pick one “regular” time to attend and let me know which one you have chosen. This way, I can moderate the group size as well. I will be present at both discussion groups as facilitator (most of the time). There will be NO RECORDINGS. The only way to participate is to show up live on Zoom at the appointed time.

If you join the All Nations Book Club, please plan to attend “most” of the time. New people wishing to join the All Nations Book Club can register (and pay a small membership fee) at the registration link above.

Any questions about the All Nations Book Club can be sent to me at: parlund@allnations.international.

Happy Reading!

Dr. Pam Arlund
All Nations Global Team Member

Note: All of the dates, except February, are the LAST Thursday or Sunday of the month. All meetings will be on Zoom. The link will be sent to book club members later.
