Overview: Groups

Great Theologians 21 books / 23 members / 7 posts A place to discuss your favorite theologians...living or dead. ;)

Christian Disciple-Making 135 books / 86 members / 76 posts Evangelism is a way of seeing the world through God's eyes. Arguably, the supreme business of the church is to carry out Christ’s great commission to preach the gospel and make disciples of every nation (see Matthew 28:18-20; Matthew 9:37-38; 1 Timothy 2:4). Many great books have been written on the subject.

This is your forum to recommend the books on disciple-making that you have found most meaningful and most helpful.

The Shelfari Reading Room 271 books / 194 members / 335 posts This group is for people of all ages who would like to exchange their reading experiences with others. Let's talk about our favorite books, what stories mean to us and why, and anything else that helps to describe our reading experiences.

I've added the link to a good online book club, Zooba, too... make a reading list and they'll send you the books

Religion and Spirituality 172 books / 84 members / 31 posts Non-Demoninational discussion of books on the many belief systems of the world.

50 Book Challenge! 3282 books / 3389 members / 20614 posts When asked about the new Amazon Kindle product, Steve Jobs CEO of Apple computer had this to say:

“It doesn’t matter how good or bad the product is, the fact is that people don’t read anymore,” he said. “Forty percent of the people in the U.S. read one book or less last year. The whole conception is flawed at the top because people don’t read anymore.”

Welcome to the the 50 Book Challenge, where we fly in the face of Steve Jobs.

Basically .... the challenge is to read 50 books in one year. OR ... establish a goal for yourself more or less, it's up to you, just because we say 50 books doesn't mean that has to be your goal too.

Start a thread, WITH YOUR NAME IN THE SUBJECT OF YOUR ORIGINAL POST, and log your books. It is a very good idea to bookmark (when in your post, add it to your internet browser's favorites) your post for easy location for future updates. Things move quickly around here.
