Begin Again Reading Club Invites Readers to Enter 2021 with Hope

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Jan. 14, 2021 — Award-winning and bestselling author Max Lucado, who has over 140 million products in print, is inviting people internationally to start 2021 afresh, abandoning fear, worry, and hopelessness from the crises of 2020 and looking forward to personal restoration and renewal in the new year.

The Begin Again Reading Club runs January 25–March 7, 2021, sponsored by Bible Gateway, the most visited Christian website in the world. Free registration for the event is at BibleGateway.com/Begin.

Participants in the Begin Again Reading Club will read and discuss Lucado’s just-released book Begin Again: Your Hope and Renewal Start Today (Thomas Nelson, 2021).

Over the course of the five-week interactive guided reading club, readers will learn how to B.E.G.I.N.:

  • Believe in Your Trustworthy God
  • Enjoy God’s Good Gifts
  • Ground Yourself in His Promises
  • Influence Your World
  • Nurture an Eternal Perspective

They will also receive the following free downloads and online access to enhance their experience:

  • Chapters 1–3 of Lucado’s book Begin Again.
  • Instructions to Start Your Own Begin Again Reading Club.
  • Scripture printable of Isaiah 40:31.
  • Access to five devotional videos with Lucado. These videos will release week-by-week, no additional registration required.
  • Access to Lucado’s online community.

“The oh-so-welcome news of Scripture is this: God is a God of fresh starts and the architect of a new design,” says Lucado. “Together, in this reading club, we’ll explore how God restores and renews every aspect of our lives.”
