GCF Book Club

by

Christmas break is the best. After a long first semester of final papers and exams, a long winter break with family, food, and no finals is amazing. And because of the highly anticipated season with no homework, no exams and no work, it’s so easy to spend your whole winter break resting, and accomplishing very little. You know what I’m talking about, you arrive at that last week of break, and look back at your break, and most you’ve managed to get done is eat yourself into a coma...several times.

As Christians we want to be intentional with our time. We want to glorify God with everything we have, including our time. And rest can be a major part of that! Especially when you’ve spent the last several months doing little but going to class, studying, working, and preparing for final exams. But resting from the responsibility of being a student doesn’t have to mean resting from being a Christian. And it shouldn’t! 

So to try and help you be intentional with your winter break, we are introducing GCF book club! We will be reading Don’t Waste Your Life by John Piper. And we will be supplementing your reading of the book, with 5 online discussion groups over the course of the break. So you’ll read the chapter assignments on your own, then get together with your GCF squad fam online, and talk about the myriad of ways we are all wasting our life! 


Meeting Schedule

Wednesday, 12/9 - Chapters 1-2

Wednesday, 12/16 - Chapters 3-4

Monday, 12/21 - Chapters 5-6

Monday, 12/28 - Chapters 7-8

Monday, 1/4 - Chapters 9-10


We will post the meeting link on our GCF GroupMe page, and on our website 30 minutes before each meeting. 

So if you have the time (and I know you do), grab this amazing book, and join in helping the rest of us to not waste our life.
