Hope Compass is a new book club at Friendly City Books led by local faith leaders. For September, we are discussing Atlas of the Heart by Brene Brown. Come for conversation and community, then read the book after our gathering!

Hope is a social gift that flourishes when we build intentional relationships in our community. We invite you to join us for a book study led by local faith leaders that will help strengthen the skills that bring people together to foster connection.

In Atlas of the Heart, Brown takes us on a journey through 87 of the emotions and experiences that define what it means to be human. As she maps the necessary skills and an actionable framework for meaningful connection, she gives us the language and tools to access a universe of new choices and second chances—a universe where we can share and steward the stories of our bravest and most heartbreaking moments with one another in a way that builds connection.
