Five college friends, three men and two women, have been getting together every Thursday night to share humble meals and an abundance of laughter. But when tragedy takes one of them, leaving the others to question the fairness of life, the Thursday Night Club decides to embark on a contest in the memory of the generous spirit of their fallen brother. The objective of the contest is simple whoever performs the kindest deed by Christmas night wins the pot – four quarters. And there are only two conditions the benevolent deed must be anonymous, and it cannot cost a single penny to pull off.
As the four friends undertake the contest, the healing begins and they become inspired beyond their expectations. There might be a winner in this competition, but it is very clear there will be no losers.
A story of Christmas spirit that will strike a chord in your heart any time of year, THE THURSDAY NIGHT CLUB will make you look at the holiday season in new ways.

Have you ever loved someone,admired them , but sort of took them for granted. Then when they unexpectedly pass away from life's grasp, you know you should have celebrated them every single day you knew them? It often happens that way and Steven Manchester wrote a story of five friends who experience a great loss....one of their little group. But it turns out this one individual had learned the true meaning of value and worth and had a giving heart.Manchester produced viable and lovable characters in this short story about giving of oneself. What these friends learned from the passing of their friend and determining what kind of life they would choose to "live" without him was heartwarming, and charming. Each of the remaining four friends paid tribute to their friend in seriously kind and generous deeds to their man. The story seemed realistic, flowed smoothly and took the college aged characters from the depths of despair to the heights of exhilaration.
As I have found many of Manchester's stories to be, The Thursday Night Club is inspirational and a true blessing to read. May we all be fortunate to find our true purpose in life and give unto others as we would have done unto ourselves.

The Thursday Night Club A Tale of Christmas Spirit edition by Steven Manchester Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Five college friends, who have formed a lot of history together, are settling in, after their final college moves. They gather each week for their “Thursday Night Club” and are ready to begin their last year of school when the unthinkable happens – one of them dies tragically. And the story unfolds ---
A contest is planned, to honor the memory of their friend, and whoever does the greatest or kindest deed wins. They soon discover that when they are helping other people there is no time to dwell on their own troubles, and their worries just melt away. The friends find that having a life that is filled with compassion help them to deal with their loss.
Taken from the book –
“Giving more than you take --- now that’s how you build a life worth living.”
“A test of endurance. Nope, life is just a never-ending series of choices.”
Steven Manchester has crafted a beautiful novella, writing in a comfortable and well-crafted style. I’m never disappointed in the author’s books and always look forward to the next one. The Thursday Night Club has themes of friendship, loss, and sadness. It is a feel good read with an uplifting conclusion. My rating is 4+ stars.
I received a complimentary copy from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Five college friends have begun their final year. Jesse, Izzy, Ava, Randy and, their regularly late friend, Kevin, meet on Thursday nights to share college life over a meal, card games, songs and laughter. The setting is college sparse, mismatched but cozy. The young people, especially the boys, often challenge each other with pranks. During one night’s banter one of the young men shares wisdom imparted from his grandfather. He asked the young man to ponder this perspective on life “What if—in the end—wealth isn’t defined by what we’ve accumulated? What if it’s decided by how much we give away while we’re here?”
One morning a rush to class results in tragedy, taking the life of one of the most cheerful of the Thursday Night crew. Their grief is shared by one of their teachers who challenges them to show kindness to honor the memory of their friend. The new challenge – to win the pot of four quarters – is to do the kindest deed before Christmas. It is to be anonymous and they cannot spend their own money in the deed.
Each of the four remaining friends find creative and beautiful ways to honor their fallen companion. Although the goal is set for reveal at Christmas time, this is a story that is timeless in its wonderful messages. There are tidbits of positive life statements shared through the story that make this heartwarming and encouraging – even through loss.
The novella reads quickly; the dialogue is easy and fits the college aged characters. I highly recommend this for enjoyment and edification! I look forward to reading more by Mr. Manchester and am pleased I have his upcoming release, Ashes, for tour review in March, 2017.
I am thankful to have received this from the author. My rating 4.5.
This book was terrible. The dialog could have been written by a fifth grader!
Really enjoyed this story and found it yo be uplifting. Will look for more by this author.
Nice story but a little too predictable
Just finished reading this and it was so good I cried. Really show the spirit of service that we all have and should keep all year through - not just at Christmastime when this book takes place. Great story and a must read for Christmastime. Steve Manchester is a wonderful writer and a truly astute human being.
This is a story of college friends who experience the loss of a friend. To honor the memory of the friend, they each come up with ways to live a life of caring and compassion. A wonderful and inspirational story to read at Christmas as well as anytime.
