Listen "Resilience, Redemption, and Really Good Books: Winter 2025 Book Club Edition"
Episode Synopsis
“Books have a way of giving voice to what we’ve felt but never quite known how to say. They remind us we’re not alone—even in the hard stuff.”In this heartfelt Book Club Edition of Thanks for Doing That, host Heather Winchell welcomes her “Core Four”—a close-knit group of friends who’ve shared life for two decades and spent the last two years exploring stories together.From Beth Moore’s honest memoir All My Knotted Up Life to the haunting beauty of City of Thieves and the big questions posed in Imagine Heaven, this episode is packed with favorites, surprises, and real talk. The group reflects on which books made them laugh, which sparked deep conversations (and fact-checking debates), and which ones stayed with them long after the final page.With haikus, memorable quotes, and the ultimate lit-lover’s question—What would you ask your favorite author?—this episode celebrates the power of story and the gift of friendship.Whether you’re looking for your next read or just love a good conversation, grab your coffee (or wine) and join us for a joyful, thoughtful dive into the books that brought us together.Find Your People: Building Deep Community in a Lonely World by Jenny AllenAll My Knotted Up Life: A Memoir by Beth MooreCity of Thieves by David BenioffSurrender: 40 Songs, One Story by BonoThe Happiest Man on Earth: The Beautiful Life of an Auschwitz Survivor by Eddie JakuImagine Heaven: Near-Death Experiences, God's Promises, and the Exhilarating Future That Awaits You by John Burke and Don PiperNo Cure for Being Human: And Other Truths I Need to Hear by Kate BowlerAmerica’s First Daughter by Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie✨ P.S.
