The TPC BOOK CLUB encourages spiritual growth through reading and discussing in an informal atmosphere fiction and non fiction works that deal with central tenets of the Christian faith. Join us every other month, on the second Tuesday, year 'round, 7pm in the TPC Media Center. Titles are normally found in the TPC Media Center and in the Durham Public Library. If you have a book to suggest, please E mail the information to: tpcbookclub@trianglepc.org

The TPC BOOK CLUB announces its next two bimonthly selections so that interested readers may have adequate time to secure and read copies from Durham Public, TPC Media Center or other sources.

May 13, we discuss The Hiding Place, the riveting true story of Corrie ten Boom, a middle-aged Dutch watchmaker who out of her profound faith courageously resisted the Nazi invasion and Jewish purge of Holland, survived Hitler's death camps, and became one of the most significant Christian evangelists of the 20th century. A musem near Amsterdam exhibits her life story and the devastation of the Nazi occupation in Europe. Corrie's story was eventually made into a film.

July 8, you're invited to discuss Circle of Grace, by Penelope Stokes.

In this tale of truth, loss, friendship and redemption, four college classmates pledge to keep in touch over the years through a journal, passed around by mail for each woman to update the others on how her life unfolds. Most of the women can't resist embellishing their accomplishments or brushing aside their failures, so the entries in the circle journal turn out to be largely charades - all of which collapse when at last one of the group (who lives in the Asheville, NC, area) provokes a reunion and the truth of each of the women's lives is revealed and shared.
