My book came yesterday.. I only got up to the first chapter, then I had to play hide and seek and read about "Good night, Little Bear" and the color kittens and Baby Moses. Fascinating book. Can't wait to read more and discuss!

I'm so excited that everyone is interested in this topic and enjoying their books thus far.

Make sure if you are going on that you go back and read the chapters we'll cover in detail during the discussion.

I think we'll plan on beginning the 'formal' discussion around Tuesday (4/29) and we'll start with the Preface/Introduction and Chapter 1.

I also think we can use some of the tools here ( Pagan Christianity by Frank Viola and George Barna ) in the discussion as well. There is, in fact, a discussion guide there.

I am amazed at so many who felt led to read this book as a group. Somehow I feel like there is 'Something' going on here!

I'm in! I bought the book as well as "The Untold Story of the New Testament Church." Hopefully I'll be able to keep up with everyone. I have six kids and work full time from home in the evenings so may be a little slower getting through the book than everyone else. Excited to read it, though!

The only one that would probably be of interest to others on this forum is titled The Irrational Atheist. It's written by Vox Day. I've been intrigued by this book ever since I read a blog review by an atheist who said he couldn't shoot holes in the information presented in the book. That blogger was hoping some of the "big gun" atheists would be able to find the chinks, but he was rather skeptical that they would.
