'Just Do Something' On the12th of June

2
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!
My book has been shipped, but haven't yet received it ~ I am so looking forward to reading and discussing. I've always loved book clubs but haven't been in one in years
