The VHCC Book Club

I have been thinking a lot about how I can grow more in my knowledge and understanding of God, and how I can bring to the fore aspects of my faith in my life EVERYDAY, not just on Sunday. I wanted to find something that would activate my Christian thinking throughout the week and get my mind really engaged. I have never been good at reading Christian books, but I know that when I do read them, I'm better off for it.

SO, the VHCC Book Club has been brought into fruition.

As Christians we need to be actively thinking about what God is saying to us though his word, the Bible. But, I feel that I need to do more than just read the Bible. It is my hope that through reading Christian books we may be better equipped to know how to respond to the challenges we face everyday. It's also valuable for us to be encouraging and challenging each other in our Christian thinking.

How are we going to do this? We are going to read one book every six weeks. Every week I will write a blog post about the book and the members of the Book Club will post comments in response to my post, thereby encouraging each other in sharing our thoughts and responses to the book. Sound good?

For this to really work I would love to have a group of people who are committed to the idea and committed to reading and commenting on the blog. If I have a core group that comment then that will kick-start others to comment. Also, by writing your thoughts on what you read it's helping you to think more about it and to remember what you actually read.

Will you join me?
