A decent proposal
Sunday, September 24th, 2006
As I’ve written before, I love books. I love good books. I love good books that make me think, and especially those that help me grow in my walk with God.
So, I have a decent proposal for my fellow bloggers. I read not too long ago that Philip Yancey has come out with a book on prayer, entitled “Prayer. Does it make any difference?” (Christianbook.com sells the hardback for $12.99.) I have not read this book, but other books by the same author have been edifying.
What I suggest is that each of us get a copy, then in the coming weeks (months) we read it “together”. On any given Saturday, one of us can host a comment section on their blog so that we can share what we’ve learned, what has challenged us and what has encouraged us to pray better. We can rotate hosts for different chapters and just “meet” up for comments, questions, etc., all within a few days of the given Saturday.
I think it would help us develop a stronger communion with God and with each other. As a crummy prayer, I know it would encourage me to move forward in this spiritual discipline.
If you want to participate, let me know. (If it’s not a good idea, well, let me know too.) Then get the book, and find a Saturday when you’d like to “host” the discussion.
