Chapter & Verse Book Clubs

Where, when, and what we're reading

Chapter & Verse is meeting virtually while we're being asked to shelter (and read) at home. Please contact your chapter's facilitator to inquire about the details for your local meeting.

Click here for a list of the books we've read since 2008. Book selections are made by the C&V leader, Nikki Silvestrini, manager at Zenith Bookstore in Duluth, MN.

We encourage you to purchase your Chapter & Verse discussion books via the Zenith Bookstore's online order page. Books are available at a 15% discount.

Wish to begin your own Chapter & Verse book club? Let us know and we'll provide discussion questions and suggestions for your meetings.

No meeting in December. Enjoy your holidays!
