This is an online book club that hosts authors of Urban Christian. We welcome as members all men and women who have a passion for reading Christian-based fiction.
UC HIS GLORY BOOK CLUB pledges our commitment to provide support, positive feedback, encouragement, and a forum whereby members can openly discuss and review the literary works of Urban Christian authors.

We also ask that you respect our beliefs and follow the guidelines of the book club. We hope to receive your valuable input, opinions, and reviews that build up, rather than tear down our authors.

âWe believe the Bible is the true, living Word of God
âWe believe all Urban Christian authors should use their God-given writing abilities to honor God and share the message of the written word God has given to each of them uniquely.
âWe believe in supporting Urban Christian authors in their literary endeavors by reading, purchasing and sharing their titles with our online community.
âWe believe that in everything we do in our literary arena should be done in a manner that will lead to God being glorified and honored.
