An Invitation

I just wanted to write a short post and invite you to read through and discuss a book with me!!    You see, my thought is that reading together (no matter how far apart we may actually be) will bring about good fodder for discussion and in some ways make the distance seem more insignificant.  In fact, I'm hoping that you'll enjoy this so much that you'll quite possibly even buy into reading more than one book with me... I mean this book reading mania could just go on and on to infinity and beyond!!

Anyway, before I get too carried away, let me explain more of the idea:  It's my intention to give you enough heads up for you to get your hands on each book well before I start reading!   My plan is to go through books that would be interesting for anyone and at a slow enough pace that even the busiest of people can keep up.  So, whether you're a part of my family, a friend, or even just a passerby, I'd love for you to join the adventure!   :)


The first book that I plan to read and blog through is "What is the Gospel" by Greg Gilbert.  This was one of my favorite reads from last year, and I am excited to read through it again (yes, it was that good!).  I know that I've given a copy of this to a few of my close family/friends, but if you don't have a copy yet, I have one extra one sitting in my house with your name on it.  Just contact me and I'll send it your way.  :)  If you'd prefer to buy one, check out Amazon or your local book store.


I hope to read through one chapter per week starting at the beginning of August (it's only 8 chapters long, a whopping 121 pages).  I'll blog each week about what I read, and I'd love to hear your thoughts too and engage in some edifying discussion!!  You can join in via a comment on my post with your thoughts or with a link to a post that you've written on your own blog about the chapter.





Please consider accepting my invitation and joining me in this!  It's going to be oh-so-fun, and it's a great way for the distance between us to feel much smaller!!   Go buy your book NOW!!  Don't procrastinate, or else you won't get it in time...




Gilbert's answer to the question "what is the gospel?" will undoubtedly benefit you no matter where you are at spiritually.  And just to entice you even more, here is a sneak peek at what the author had to say about his book:
