Spiritual Life & Reading Center

SLLC Community, what are you reading?

A cornerstone of the Spiritual Life & Learning Center is literature.


We would love to hear what you are currently reading. We want to hear about the 'good', the 'bad', and the 'couldn't put it down'! Each month, in our monthly newsletter, we will feature the titles that are being read, your name, and a sentence or two of your thoughts about the book. Perhaps it will send someone racing towards your recommendation or away from the abominations.


Some titles may be considered for upcoming Holding Hope Book Discussions.
