Book Review: The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver Review and Discussion Questions

Hey friend!

I hope you're having a wonderful week! I'm popping in to highlight a backlist book that deserves to be at the forefront of your TBR.

Oh, my heart! The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver continues to stand as one of my favorite books of all time!

Originally published in 1998, it was rereleased with Book of the Month in 2017 and was essentially new to me. What I would have never expected was to be transformed by a book three times over. Yes, I’ve read this book three times, and each time I’ve read it, I’ve taken away something new.

We read it as a book club in September and the conversations that came from it were incredible. I'm convinced this book was written to be discussed.

I think this might be my favorite book of all time!

Check out my full review below and grab a book club kit to use with your book club!

Happy reading!

With joy,

Katelyn

2026: The year of clean swaps and lower cortisol Let's level, the more you dive into the world of non-tox and low-tox living, the more overwhelming it becomes. I made a New Year's goal (not resolution) to make just one clean swap a month for the whole year. It's manageable and I'm going to share it with you! Hey there! I'm no newbie to the world of crunchy, low-tox lifestyles. I've been an eager student for a long time. I'm also not the *most crunchy* person you're going to meet. I'm a normal...

Mainstream Books I Still Recommend Since Reading with Biblical Conviction Publishing seems to have lost its mind, but there are still a few gems out there that are worthy of reading. Let's chat! Hey there! What a wild ride it's been for me sorting through my library and offloading books that don't align with Biblical values. It feels daunting but also freeing! It's a slow but meaningful process... and I'm only halfway done. Sorting through titles has helped me to see that not all of my...
