[close] Our Monthly Featured https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/22807250-monthly-featured History — it's just a bunch of dusty worthless facts, mixed with a jumble of hard-to-pronounce names, and tossed with a collection of daunting dates... right? Wrong! Timeless Pages is a history-exploring group that digs below these modern stereotypes of history and discovers history for what it really is — a treasure-filled past that holds gems of excitement, adventure, and discovery. Reading historical fiction is one of the best ways to explore this exciting past. I mean, hey, there's always something to learn from the events of yesteryear. So in this group we love to read historical fiction that is clean and upholds Christian morals and values. But remember: when you read, it's more than just reading words on a page — you're falling through the pages of your book, leaving the present world, and entering a different place and time — you become a person who is a living figure in history (okay, maybe it's not that dramatic)! Timeless Pages is a Christ-based group; so the topics we discuss will be clean and appropriate for every age. And, of course, since this is a history group, we will talk about real history — its events, people, and places. (That may have been obvious. 😂) So feel free to talk about your favorite event in history; or maybe you admire a certain historical figure for his/her courageous actions; or maybe you would like to talk about a certain city or nation that was a once a vital part of civilization; or perhaps you would like to bring out a lesson that modern civilization can learn from the events of the past. Well, what are you waiting for? Come join the discussion and be a part of a group that is actively bringing history the attention it deserves. Feel free to invite your friends!
