Book clubs are a great way to make new friends and expand your women’s ministry’s outreach in a non-threatening seeker-friendly fashion. 

Mystery Women of the Bible is an excellent choice for your first club selection because women love mysteries and the lives of these mystery women is so approachable.

Every woman in attendance will find something in common with these women of yesterday, and hopefully, come to know and trust in their God.

Steps to Getting A Book Club Started:

It’s easier than you might think and more fun than you might have imagined starting a Mystery Women of the Bible Book Club.

1. Search and advertise for members
The first step in creating your book club is to find four to 10 women who can participate. Advertise in your local newspaper and post notices at the library, churches and bookstores. Look for a diverse group of people. If all your members have similar attitudes and viewpoints, your book discussions will be short and boring. Because you have chosen Mystery Women of the Bible as your first book, be sure to include that fact in your announcements.

2. Choose the place and the time
For the first meeting, you can send out invitations. You might wish to make your own home the meeting place and take turns after that. At the first meeting, you will need to decide if your club is meeting weekly, biweekly, once a month, and for how long. Be sure to have some munchies around. The hostess usually provides these and it's wise to discuss how fancy you want be — popcorn, pizza, or a simple dessert.

3. Make an agenda
Decide how many chapters the group will read each week by creating a reasonable timeline to finish reading the book so no one feels overwhelmed, anxious, or bored. Twelve sessions is a logical number as Mystery Women of the Bible has 12 chapters but some chapters may prompt more discussion.

4. Have good discussion
Encourage your members to read Mystery Women of the Bible with a highlighter, paper, and a pencil or pen. While they read, encourage them to highlight any sentences or paragraphs that are particularly meaningful or with which they disagree. Ask them to jot down questions or thoughts that occur to them on the paper and bring them along for discussion.

5. Have fun and pray!
Most importantly, have fun and pray for the members of your Mystery Women of the Bible book club! Please don’t feel that you need to change anyone’s mind or belief system. It is all about learning God’s Word and letting the Holy Spirit do His job. He’s SO much better at changing people than we are!
