A Letter to Book Club Leaders
Dear Leader,
Thank you for saying yes to leading a Now She Leads Book Club.
Leadership begins long before the first meeting—it begins with obedience. By creating space for this conversation, you are helping others hear God’s voice more clearly and respond with courage.
This guide is not meant to control discussion, but to serve it. Allow room for the Holy Spirit. Honor stories. Ask honest questions. Let silence do its work when needed.
You are not required to have all the answers.
You are only required to lead with humility, wisdom, and grace.
May this experience strengthen your faith, sharpen your leadership, and confirm what God has already spoken.
With gratitude and prayer,
Dr. T. Lynn Smith
