A group of friends and members of HCC united to discuss the book, The Broker and The Bum by Brady Cook (a pastor from Texas). The story explored situations in the lives of Liam (a believer who lives on the streets of NYC) and Matt (a self-centered but successful financial advisor). The book is based on the Biblical parable about the rich man and Lazarus. The group enjoyed a meal, fellowship, and a lively discussion of the book. The next book club meeting will take place in July. The group is planning to discuss another book by Brady Cook which is set to be published in June.
