Each kit contains 10 copies of a discussable title, plus a discussion guide, in an easy to transport duffel bag. You can even  set your own convenient due date, up to 90 days from the day you check it out, to guarantee ample time for your group to read and return the books. We've recently added eight new titles, so now is the perfect time to give one of these kits a try.
