Good Faith Book Club

Formed in 2012, the aim of the Good Faith Book Club was to provide a forum for people to explore and discuss matters of faith and what they believed. This was through the discussion of a book in a relaxed, convivial, non-threatening atmosphere. Everyone was welcome to come along and express their views or just listen over a cup of tea or coffee.

It ran for 11 years, meeting every other month and discussed 66 books, all of the group's choosing. Various members volunteered to summarise the discussions which follow on the next pages. A 'top ten' of the books, listed in the order we read them (recent to earliest), are:
