This week at the Christian Book Club we will be finishing The Numbers of Hope. Our reading and discussion will focus on chapters 10 through 12 and the daily devotional at the end of the book. I think this will be enjoyable reading for you. Max does a good job of talking about Heaven and Hell. He also talks about living with the promise of John 3:16. I look forward to your comments as always.

If you don’t have C.S. Lewis “The Weight of Glory” yet, make sure you order it soon. We will start reading it July 1st. I love Lewis and I think you will enjoy these “sermons” that he delivered during World War II.

The Weight of Glory: And Other Addresses By C.S. Lewis

I will be praying for all of you and hope that you are enjoying the Christian Book Club Online. I was just given a copy of a book called The Shack. It looks like an interesting book. I checked out the reviews and people seem to love it or hate it. I will probably be adding it to a future book club. Anyone with any insight on the book?

Here on Christian Book Club we move in to week three of Max Lucado’s “The Numbers of Hope 3:16″. I hope you are enjoying not only the book but the daily devotionals as much as I am. Once again let me say that I am grateful for your comments as they really add to the reading experience. This week we will be reading chapters 7-9. When you start chapter 9 there is a reference to Team Hoyt. This is an amazing father and son relationship that Max uses to illustrate believing in and depending on God. I am including a video from You Tube that will introduce you to Team Hoyt. I think it is also a fitting tribute for Father’s Day (make sure your speakers are on, the background music is really good). Don’t forget to get your books ordered for next month’s club. It is a C.S. Lewis offering called the Weight of Glory. Enjoy the video and I look forward to your comments.

Here on the Christian Book Club we are in the first three chapters of The Numbers of Hope 3:16 by Max Lucado.  Max is a very easy author to read.  His stories seem to flow so well.  In the first chapter I like how he talks about being “Born Again”.  The original creator recreates his creation.  I like that.  I don’t know about you but I really needed and still regularly need to be recreated!  Chapter 2 has Max reminding us of the magnitude of who God is.  I kind of chuckle at how often we act as though somehow we can control God.  This of you who read “Your God is Too Safe” with us know what I mean.  Chapter three presented a great discussion on how stubborn we are.  He also includes a really bad little joke on page 27 when he is talking about a cow.  “Udderly Foolish!”  I love bad jokes.  Keep reading and share your comments with us!
