Go see our book club blog this week - we have been posting about the Kite Runner. So far, Prue discusses Afghanistan and new learning from the book, Kris discusses at first disliking and then warming to the book, and I talk about parenting and redemption.

Book club blogging has started
Yes, we now have some posts in our book club blog.......so far we have discussed the intro and the first chapter (on Deborah, the judge and prophet) from our first book Women, Ministry and the gospel. Don't worry, if not your cuppa, the fiction book should be decided on soon.

More bloggy book club - a new development
After some discussion, a new development. There will be at the ONE AND THE SAME TIME - can we do it?? a fiction and non fiction book going. So, this means if you are reading both, if you get bored with one, you can read the other for a while (sometimes i feel like fiction sometimes non fiction - dont know about you). It also means if you only want to read one that's fine too - and now you have a choice regarding which one. I am thinking, as it is excellent timing, that maybe (unless it looks bad) the winner of 2007 Man Booker Prize - which is announced Monday - so will let you know then. Meanwhile, take a look at the shortlist, and take a guess which will win:

Bloggy Book club
Dear readers,
A blogger friend, the babies stole my brain, is committed to regaining said brain. In pursuit of which, she has just started a blog book club to help us to read and discuss.
I was on the verge of starting something similar, so i was thrilled to read her post on this - see here.
Who would like to join us? A variety of views and opinions are welcome as long as respect is shown. I haven't consulted her on this, but I assume that it is Ok to go in and out depending on your interest in the book under discussion at the time.
As initiating blogger, tbsmb has chosen our inaugural book - The book is called Women, Ministry and the Gospel: Exploring New Paradigms. It's a collection of essays presented at the 2005 Wheaton College Theology conference. As fas as I understand it, on my brief research on the net, this was a conference which tried to bridge the gap between those on opposing sides of the women in ministry debate. (see here for a view on the upshot of this by one egalitarian) - so this then, I think, is a book by people on both sides of the debate who have a desire for christian unity and reconciliation. We would read a chapter or 2 a week and discuss via our blogs on a set day. In the spirit of the book, I welcome those on both sides of the debate to come read it with us.
I have made a plea for fiction to be on the menu as well, so maybe next time!
If you are interested, please let either me or tbsmb know. See her post for online places to buy the book.
