Renovaré Book Club 2026–27 For churches & small groups

Journey with your group

The Book Club gives your church or small group a guided, seven-month journey through four soul-shaping books — the reading schedule, weekly podcasts, and discussion questions are all provided, so you simply gather your people.

What they receive

Every person gets a complete membership

A pack membership isn't a shared login or a limited seat — each person in your group receives the same full individual membership, October through May.

  • Weekly podcast guidance every Monday, hosted by Carolyn Arends
  • A gentle reading plan — usually a chapter or two each week
  • The ad-free members-only community forum
  • Live Q&A webinars with each book's guide
  • Perpetual access to this season’s resources
  • A seven-week structure for each book, including a prep week
  • No required meeting times — you choose whether and when to meet
  • A printable schedule and weekly reminder emails
  • Books are sold separately — borrow them from a library or buy them from a local bookshop.
The 2026–27 season

Four books, one pathway

  1. Dwelling in Christ book cover Dwelling in Christ Jonathan R. Bailey Oct 5 – Nov 16 Guide: Jonathan R. Bailey
  2. The Pilgrim's Progress book cover The Pilgrim's Progress John Bunyan Nov 30 – Jan 25 Guide: Karen Swallow Prior
  3. Into the quiet book cover Into the quiet John Mark Comer Feb 1 – Mar 15 Guide: John Mark Comer
  4. The Way of the Heart book cover The Way of the Heart Henri Nouwen Mar 29 – May 10 Guide: Wil Hernandez

Books are sold separately — memberships cover the guided journey, not the books. (The first-book add-on offered with individual memberships isn’t part of the pack.)

Your guides

Walk with trusted voices

Each book is guided by its facilitator on the weekly podcast — authors and scholars who know the path well.

Your part

What you do as the leader

The Book Club sets the reading schedule, provides discussion questions, and comes with a coordinator guide to help you host well. You simply gather your people.

Simply read and convene

The reading and weekly podcasts set the table, you simply bring people together.

Meet on your group's terms

Weekly, monthly, or not at all — in person or virtual. Your group decides what fits.

Discussion prompts provided

Each week’s reflection questions are ready for you, whenever your group gathers.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

That’s fine. The pack covers up to 20 memberships, and unused ones simply go unused. The table above shows what it works out to per person. With fewer than three people, individual memberships are the better value.

No. There are no required meeting times. The podcasts, readings, and community forum all work on each person’s own schedule, and you choose whether and when to meet. If your group does gather, you choose the rhythm: weekly, monthly, or not at all, in person or virtual.

The books are sold separately. Memberships cover the guided journey, not the books themselves. Borrow them from a library or buy them from a local bookshop; many groups place one bulk order so everyone has the same edition. The live Q&A webinars and podcasts are included with every membership.

Yes. Each book begins with a prep week, and members keep perpetual access to this season’s resources, so someone joining mid-book can catch up on the podcasts and readings at their own pace, or simply start fresh with the next book.

Absolutely. A class is exactly the kind of group the pack is for. The weekly podcast guides the reading, discussion prompts are provided, and your class time becomes the conversation. No teaching preparation needed.

Wonderful problem to have. Anyone beyond the 20 can purchase an individual membership, or you can purchase a second Membership Pack for the next 20.

If your group hasn’t used all 20 memberships, the next person simply sets up an open one; there’s nothing to reassign. If all 20 are taken, email [email protected] and we’ll help you reassign the open spot.

Yes. If the pack isn’t working out for your group, we offer a full refund on group licenses for up to 30 days after purchase. Just email [email protected].
