Join My Book Club, Culture Making — Sept. ‘08

Thanks for visiting my blog, Serving Bread. Here you'll read stories, insights, reflections and ramblings from a campus minister, father, husband and Jesus-follower. If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to the RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

One of the beauties of the Internet (and especially Web 2.0) is that it allows for collaboration and learning apart from physical location. For years, I have been intrigued to initiate (or join an existing) virtual book club. I tried it a few years ago with a friend, but it didn’t catch as much steam as I had hoped for.

In the month of September, I am going to be reading Andy Crouch’s new book, Culture Making. It has garnered great reviews, and Al Hsu (editor at IVP and someone I trust when it comes to book recommendations) has been mentioning it frequently in his posts. In addition to the book, Andy Crouch has also launched a website around this book.

For the month of September, I would like to invite anyone who is interested to read the book together and talk about what we are learning. If you are interested, let me know via a comment and hop on to Amazon and purchase the book.

Here’s how I’m thinking it will work:

  • Part I, Read and comment around September 10
  • Part II, Read and comment around September 20
  • Part III, Read and comment around September 30

You can follow along in your own blog or we can use my blog as the space to talk about the book. I will be commenting throughout September on what I am learning/gathering from the book.

    This is a great idea Eddy!

    I would love to read this book with you. I’ve never done this, but only if I can get the book to Lebanon on time! I’ll check the bookstores if they have it… otherwise Amazon will be my best option. I’ll see…
