The Reason for God - Book Club Week One

May 11th, 2008 by Todd Johnson

Here we go.  There’s plenty of interest (and interesting people), so it should be a good time and great learning.

 

The Book we will read is The Reason for God by Timothy Keller. 

 

About the Author: Read Tim Keller’s bio here

About the Book: Read a review here

 

If you do not already own the book, you will need to purchase one this week.  I recommend that you pick one up at The Commons (Our Church Bookstore), or online at Amazon.  We will offer the book discounted 30% at The Commons for all interested.  Either way, grab one soon.

 

I will post for discussion next Sunday night, May 19th, and our first week’s discussion will revolve around the introduction and Chapter One.  You will have all week before the next post so don’t panic if you get behind or don’t have the book until later this week.

 

In the meantime feel free to ask any questions here and I’ll do my best to answer them.

 

I’m really looking forward to the months ahead enjoying a good book & good discussion with a lot of good people.  

 

By the way, this group is never closed and anyone can feel free to join us at anytime.

    I just read the bio and the book review; looks like good old Pennsylvania has produced a latter day CS Lewis!

    I really liked the bio’s comment: ‘entering the culture’s stories and retelling them with the gospel’.” Yes! The truth is the truth no matter where you find it. I think many of the engaging movies of our day contain fragments of truth. As Christ’s disciples, our mission (should we choose to accept it) is to lead people to its source.
