In the small Colorado town of Summit View, a surprising multi-generational mix of women from Grace Church meet once a week to pass a hot dish and to pray. But the Potluck Club, as they call themselves, is a recipe for disaster when they send up enough misinformed prayers to bring down a church. And the funny thing: the more they pray, the more troubles seem to come their way. It isn’t until they invite God to the table that they discover friendship is the spice of life, and a little dash of grace, just like salt, goes a long way. With charming, down-home characters, humor, poignancy, and a recipe in every chapter, The Potluck Club will keep readers hungering for more.
My Review: I have had my eye on this series for a while, and when my local Christian bookstore reduced the price, I bought it! Actually I started with the last book. This didn’t matter except that I knew some things that were coming. I grew to love these books more with each one I read. The characters are definitely people I know, and the setting is of great interest to me, since I have a son living in CO. Most of the main characters are about my age, with the exception of the sheriff’s daughter, so I think these books could appeal to almost all ages of women, but maybe especially those 35 and older. The Potluck is a prayer group within a church that gathers together to pray and eat (right up my alley!). Many recipes are included at the end of the book – which I also love. The story includes drama, laughter, and tears. Most women’s problems seem to be addressed through one or another of the characters. This book is written about women from a woman’s point of view. The Potluck Club series is Christian fiction as well as Christian chick lit, but someone of another faith could also read and enjoy it. The Potluck Club is an enjoyable winter read!
