In light of your many sweet comments and recommendations regarding my determination to READ AGAIN, OH MY WORD, my friend Robin made the suggestion that we start a little book club.
And I was all, “OKAY!”
So we’re going to do just that. At least once. Robin’s going to host our first installment at her blog, because oh sweet mercy if you aren’t sick of my blog you should be.
Our first selection? Well, I let Miss Robin pick the book because, as she can attest, I am completely incapable of making such a decision. I changed my mind three times before she told me that the back and forth had been real fun and all but she was going to make this recommendation:
Get Out Of That Pit!: Straight Talk About God’s Deliverance – by Beth Moore
And once Robin made the call, it seemed only fitting since there are several new readers in this corner of the blogosphere who found their way here via The LPM Blog.
We’d love for you to join us. And here’s how our little Bloggity Book Club will work.
After you finish reading Beth’s book, you’ll write a post on your impressions of / questions about / lessons from the book. You do NOT have to write a five-paragraph essay seeing as how you’re no longer in eleventh grade; you can just write a loose, informal response to the book. Typical blog post fare. If you have trouble getting started, there are some study questions in the back of the book that will help.
After you post your reactions on your blog on Friday, March 9, head over to Robin’s blog, where she’ll have a Mr. Linky (no idea what a Mr. Linky is? Look at the end of this post). You’ll put up a link to your book club post on the Mr. Linky…and then we all can make our way through all of the posts by using Robin’s place as a hub. This isn’t a long-term committment; we’ll just try it one time and see how it goes.
It’ll be simple. It’ll be fun. And hopefully it’ll be edifying for us all.
Also: if you’d like to participate but don’t think you can afford the book right now, send me an email and let me know…I think I can round up some people who will cover the expense of a few books so that money isn’t a hindrance. And if you’d like to donate a book or two, email me and let me know that as well.
Hope to see you at Robin’s on March 9! Let me know in the comments if you plan to join us, and I’ll email you a link for a sidebar button so that we can get the word out.
Love y’all!
