How it works
Quarterly pick: Each quarter, Christian Athlete Circles recommends one book on faith and formation for student-athletes and coaches. Choose the format you prefer—print, ebook, or audio—and read on your timeline.
Your pace, your path: No meetings. No deadlines. No long-term commitment. Engage when it helps you most, and step back when your season gets heavy.
Gentle touchpoints: Throughout the semester, we’ll offer short prompts, quotes, and reflection questions on social media and email to spark insight and conversation. Share your takeaways when you want, how you want.

You’ve heard of book club. What’s an (un)book club?
Athletes and coaches don’t need another task on the to-do list—but the soul still needs good fuel. The (un)book club is a low-pressure way to explore faith, spirituality, and calling at your own pace while staying connected to a supportive community. It removes deadlines while keeping reflection and growth on the calendar.

Better Ways to Read the Bible by Zach Lamert
How can we read the Bible in ways that lead to healing and wholeness?
As a pastor for more than ten years, Zach Lambert has seen the Bible used countless times as something far from the "Good Book"--both in his own life and in the experiences of others. He has seen the Bible weaponized to subjugate women, justify racism, bash LGBTQ+ people, cover up abuse, and exclude people who speak out against these injustices.
If you've been hurt by harmful interpretations or feel disconnected from Scripture, this book offers a path forward to reclaim the Bible's life-giving message. This accessible resource will help you
● break free from harmful interpretations that distort Scripture's true message,
● develop Christ-centered reading practices,
● renew your relationship with Scripture,
● apply new frameworks to challenging Bible passages that have historically been misused to cause harm, and
● connect with Christians who embrace Scripture's call to abundant life for everyone.
