virtual BOOK clubs
Winter 2023 book clubs begin the week of January 16.
CFBU's book clubs are for people just like YOU! This is a place for biblical Christians who want to openly and honestly discuss the issues we face in our culture today, without the fear of being racially shamed or canceled. Join us!
About the Groups:
Length: 6 weeks, 90 minutes per week
Cost: $40 + the cost of the book
The live experience is limited to 25 participants.
Each book group will have a live discussion leader. Please see times and days listed in descriptions below. Once you have registered and paid, you will receive a confirmation. The week before the group, you will be emailed instructions to join the virtual classroom on Google. Weekly discussions will be held on Zoom.
Book clubs are a time of asking questions and discussing the week‘s reading. Each meeting will be recorded and uploaded to the private virtual Classroom, in case you need to miss a week.
All book clubs also offer a virtual experience, which allows participants to access recordings from the live experience.

Live Your Truth and Other Lies
Exposing Popular Deceptions That Make Us Anxious, Exhausted, and Self-Obsessed

We’ve all seen the memes that populate the internet: live your truth, follow your heart, you only have one life to live. They sound nice and positive. But what if these slogans are actually lies that unhinge us from reality and leave us anxious and exhausted? Alisa invites you to examine modern lies that are disguised as truths in today’s culture.
