FPC Book Club

The FPC Book Club is an excellent opportunity for church members who enjoy reading to connect over shared literary interests. Participants read and discuss books, which may include Christian literature, inspirational works, fiction, or non-fiction that align with the values and themes of the church. The book club fosters a sense of intellectual and spiritual growth while building strong bonds among members through meaningful discussions.

The FPC Book Club meets monthly on the second Thursday of the month at 2:00 PM in the Parlor Room. This group selects books based on member interests and recommendations. Check here for current and past reading selections.

About the Current Book Selection:

This New York Times best selling detective story reveals the hidden history of Rudolf Diesel, one of the world's greatest inventors, and his mysterious disappearance from a steamship halfway between Belgium and England on the eve of World War I. Diesel built the first internal combustion engine, which put him in the crosshairs of two of the most powerful men on earth, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany who wanted complete control of the engine to power his submarines and John D. Rockefeller, owner of Standard Oil who felt wide use of the engine would threaten his monopoly on the petroleum industry. This conflict made foul play a serious consideration when Diesel disappeared. In this biography/true crime story, the author has attempted to prove another theory about Diesel's disappearance that is a shocking conclusion to this age old mystery.
