I’m a big fan of Stuff Christians Like readers. You guys are funny and insightful and above all, honest.
I’m also a big fan of books. I like laughing and learning and being lchallenged. (I felt like all those words had to start with an “l”.)
So in 2009, I thought it would be cool to combine the two, which is why I am starting the Stuff Christians Like Book Club or SCLBC.
Every few weeks, I’ll post some ideas on a section of a book we’re reading and then we’ll all post comments to discuss what we liked or didn’t like. We’ll hold the SCLBC (which kind of sounds like something Snoop Dogg would be down with) on prodigaljon.com so as not to interrupt the Stuff Christians Like flow. (That flow, in case you’re wondering is 4 parts attempted laughs + 1 part attempted insight + all parts G to the O to the D.)
First book up, “Crazy Love” by Francis Chan. You can buy it here
.
My hope is that once this thing gets bigger than Oprah’s book club, which will probably take a week or two, we’ll be able to get the publisher to send us all free copies and maybe have the author join the conversation.
I’ll remind you again later, but let’s meet on prodigaljon.com on Wednesday, January 14th to talk about the first two chapters.
What do you think? Want to read a few books together this year? You in?
You ready to be lchallenged?
