# [UPDATED] Introducing a Book Club Conversation Using Jesus: A Pilgrimage by Fr. James Martin

May 11, 2014 2:00:12 PM  |  by [Sarah Reinhard](https://www.catholicmom.com/articles/author/sarah-reinhard)

Ladies and gentlemen, friends and fellow travelers on the road of faith, I am so excited to share an idea that became a reality in the last two weeks.

![Jesus book conversation](https://www.catholicmom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Jesus-book-conversation-400x400-19.png?width=400&height=400&name=Jesus-book-conversation-400x400-19.png)

We're hosting a book club conversation using Fr. James Martin’s bestseller, [*Jesus A Pilgrimage*](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/006202423X/catholicmom). Each week we will tackle a chapter and look forward to a lively discussion together.

Here's an introduction to the book by Fr. Jim:

[*Video link*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFuKtuwZD5I)

I hope you'll join us as we write about it, discuss it, and grow closer to Jesus in the process. Susan Bailey, Lisa Hendey, and myself will be taking turns posting on Sundays with thoughts, discussion questions, and more.

Next Sunday, we'll cover the Introduction: Who Is Jesus?

For the full reading schedule, see our [Jesus Book Club page](http://catholicmom.com/jesus-book-club/).

## Here's how it will work:

We'll post a reflection each week on Sundays. Lisa, Susan, or I will include our thoughts and impressions after reading the chapter.

We will post discussion questions. You're welcome to read along with us.

You can participate in a few ways.

1. Read along.

2. Leave comments on each post with your thoughts and impressions or even take a stab at the discussion questions.

3. Interact with other commenters.

4. Share the posts and the discussion in your real-life networks and/or your social networks.
