How does Friday 12th June sound for beginning to read 'Just Do Something . . .' by Kevin DeYoung? We'll skip the forward and begin with Chapter 1 'The Long Road to Nowhere' which is fairly short & should be easy for us to get to grasps with between now & Friday.The book is fairly short so for those fast readers among us it may be helpful if you read the book in whatever time it takes you & then re-read the chapters in discussion each week.
I don't have a great mind so it will be helpful for others to post their analysis, thoughts, critics etc on their own blogs & link to it in the comments (I'll try to link to these in the main post as i become aware of them). I'm very aware that many of you guys would be far better at hosting this than i am.
I'm hoping that we'll find this a helpful way to engage with the book*, discuss it & learn from the point of view others have. But most of all that we'll come away from the book having learned from it & in putting into action what we learn.

*Because of Copyright i'm going to try & quote as little as possible of the book each week, trying to simply talk about it & begin discussion over themes raised.
** i'll be on hoilday & have pre-arranged guest posts during this period. I did consider beginning this after the holidays but didn't want to put it off too long.
This is great for me!
