Inspirational Book Club (IBC) is a meeting place of inspiring minds with a common interest in receiving inspiration from books that have transformed famous and ordinary people’s lives. Our goal is to cultivate the life-changing habit of reading such books for ourselves and others.
We are attempting to procure books for lively and absorbing discussion at no charge or at a good discounted price for you- enabling everyone to participate. We warmly welcome your suggestions for books, authors and speakers.
We prefer to bring local authors, who may also be able to give a talk related to their books and books that have inspired them. In many instances we will also have a joint meeting with Friends of Heart--another group focusing on mind, body and soul. A resource centre will be established for members to borrow such books as well as DVD’s and CD’s.
