Here's a Thought

"...like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation." I Peter 2:2

It is time we capitalize on the most popular book in America. Book clubs have sprung up in cafes, coffee shops and dining rooms all across America. Rather than allowing celebrities, talk show hosts and commentators to provide suggested readings, what do you say we come up with some suggested reading of our own?

What might happen if for 30 days a group of believers decided to invite neighbors, family and friends to a one-month book club to simply read the book of Proverbs?
Participants could be encouraged to read a chapter a day and then to meet once a week to discuss what they have read.

Imagine what might happen if at the end of the study they made the decision to put what they learned into practice by becoming doers of the Word.

There is a good possibility that lives would be changed both from within and outside the group, and that the book club would continue to meet for months to come, discovering new insights from God's Word on a daily basis.
