The Holy Wild – Part 1
On Christian Book Club we are now reading Mark Buchanan’s “The Holy Wild”. We have read and discussed one of Mark’s book last year, “Your God is Too Safe”, and most of you found Mark to have a writing style that caused you to stop and reflect on who God is. As I have started reading “The Holy Wild” I think you will have draw the same conclusions. It is a very good book so far. The book is broken into three parts and so this month we will take about 10 days to read and discuss each of the parts. Part 1 is called “Drink From This Stream”, Part 2 is called “Stand in This Place, and Part 3 is called “Search These Woods”.
I look forward to reading your comments as Buchanan talks about God’s faithfulness and what that means to us. I am going to include a video that I found on You Tube where Mark is talking about one of his other books. I like to be able to watch and listen to the authors whenever possible. Sometimes it helps me connect to the writing in ways I might not have otherwise. I will also include a link to the book in case you don’t have it yet.
