Book Study

Started by Julie , author of Faith Returns Home 1/9/2012 10:46:51 AM

Hello, several days ago Dana asked for Discussion topics. I had gotten a book from my mom for Christmas by James MacDonald entitled "When Life is Hard." I suggested that this might be a good book study. So, because Dana is an awesome, natural lead, she asked if I would lead it.

So, this is my first attempt at leading. I am in the assessment phase of this project. I am gathering data. How many of you would be interested in purchasing this book and going through it, one chapter a week and discussing the contents of the book? The link above is for Amazon.com. The book sells for $10.19, but is available used for much cheaper. You can also get a Kindle version or a NookBook if you have switched to an e-reader.

I am not looking for a crowd, where two or three are gathered... but I don't want to read each chapter and discuss it on-line by myself either.

I'm on board! I was all excited to download it to my nook, but it looks like I can get it for cheaper elsewhere. I'll post this to my Facebook profile and blog, too.

Thanks, Julie!

Hmmm. Maybe it isn't any cheaper once I add shipping!

Yeah! I was hoping we could find at least one other person and couldn't have thought up a better person to join in a book discussion! :)

My mom was interested enough to ask me how much the book cost. Work is kind of crazy for her right now, but I'll check back on how interested she is next time I talk to her.

I would like to read this book as well but I am not very computer savvy! Would we discuss it chapter by chapter and put our comments on here like we are doing now?

I would like to join you! I am ordering the book from Amazon.

Yes, Sonya! Just like this. I'll let Julie decide just how she wants to structure it, but typically the leader starts it off with a question or a summary or some sort of direction and then we discuss just like we're doing here. Then the next week, we'd do the next chapter.

Looking forward to discussing it with you guys!

I downloaded the book yesterday onto my e-reader. It only cost me $8.80, so that wasn't bad!
