Want to read a book?

I am about to leave for Montreat Music and Worship Conference.  When we return I will repack and leave for vacation.  So I won't be blogging (unless I can get on from Turkey) until August 4th.

When I resume I plan to go in a new directionsince sermon planning in a blog didn't really work.

I have just finished reading a book called "Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal" by Christopher Moore.

I laughed out loud through a good part of the book and some parts actually made me think.

So beginning in August I am going to lead a book study by BLOG on this book. I am telling you now so you have time to read it if you wish to participate. I have never done this before so I am not exactly sure how it will work but it should be fun. I am not issuing a general invitation to the whole congregation because many people would find this book offensive. Some would have difficulty with the use of the “F” word. Others might feel it makes fun of Christ and Christianity.Some people will find the book just plain stupid.  It does have thhose moments.  In the end, I think it just raises interesting possibilities and questions and I think it is funny. I don’t care if people disagree with my take on the book at all.My hope is that we can get some heated discussion around the book. I just don’t want to offend anyone.

So if you are interested start checking my BLOG on August 4th and try to read the book before then. If you know others who might be interested please feel free to pass this message along.  Happy reading.
