This book club will meet four times a year to read and discuss fiction and non-fiction books about and set in Oakland. We hope this group will help us connect with one another and learn about the city where God has placed us to live out His mission.

In celebration of AAPI Heritage Month, our first book will be, Dragon Hoops by Gene Luen Yang. Yang's graphic novel tells the true story of the 2014-15 basketball season of Oakland's Bishop O'Dowd High School Dragons, and the lessons Yang (a teacher at O'Dowd) learned about race, religion, history, sports, and life. We especially encourage youth ages 14+ to read Dragon Hoops and join this discussion! Please read our book ahead of time--we will meet to discuss it on June 2 at 12:30pm. For more information or help getting a copy of Dragon Hoops, email Russell Yee.
