Russellville Readers

>> Wednesday, July 30, 2008

If you are in Russellville and looking for "Walking with God", your best bet might be to go ahead and order it on amazon.com. Both Heart and Soul and the bookstore at Russellville Christian Center are out of stock. RCC could order it and get it in within a week, but it was more expensive than Amazon. Right now, if you order on Amazon and spend $25, the shipping is free. Amazon was also cheaper then Family Christian Stores website (by quite a bit).

Next Book: "Walking with God" by John Eldredge

>> Saturday, July 26, 2008

It looks like "Walking with God" has it for the next book! I am very excited to get started on it. Since there also seemed to be interest in "Believing God" and "Searching for God Knows What", I will make sure that they are in the poll for the next book that read.

We have one more chapter for the current book, "And then I Had Kids". Why don't we all try and get our hands on "Walking with God" (and workbook, if you like) in the next two weeks, so that we can all get started on it. My goal will be to start posting on the next book by the second week of August.

Blessings!!

NEXT BOOK

>> Tuesday, July 8, 2008

We are getting closer to the end of "And Then I Had Kids". I can't tell you how much I am enjoying doing this with each of you. God has been showing me so much through the book and through your comments. Hopefully some additional ladies will be able to join us on the next book.

I would like to try and get some feedback on books that each of you might be interested in reading. I thought that once we gather a few options, it would be good to just post a poll on 4-5 possible books so that we can vote on the next book.

I looked through a bookstore online at different options. Here are a few and I would love it if you would throw more books into the hat or give feedback if you are interested in any of these books. I have placed a link to the Family Christian Bookstore on the blog, simply as a tool for looking up book descriptions, in case you would like a little more information on any of these titles or would like to brouse through more possibilities.

Some possibilities are:

Walking with God by John Eldredge (This one has a workbook.)
Believing God by Beth Moore
Waking the Dead by John Eldredge (also has a workbook)
The Beloved Desciple: Following John to the Heart of Jesus by Beth Moore
Searching for God Knows What by Donald Miller

Have a blessed day!
