Our First Book Club Read!!!

     We're getting revved up!  We're going to be officially beginning our first book together the week of July 27th.  This should give everyone plenty of time to purchase the book and be ready!

     How will this work?  I will divide the book into several one-week sections.  Each week, we will read that section.  Sections are divided in such a way as to keep everyone together, without being too slow.  Please do not get ahead or behind!  In order for us to have meaningful conversation with one another, we should all stay together!

     To discuss, simply come to The Returning Bride's book club forum page and take part in the conversation!  This is open to all believers!  This blog (and I) approach things from a Messianic perspective, but we welcome everyone, and we look forward to meaningful discussion.  Before posting, please remember to review the "Tips" and "Announcements" sections of the forum for helpful information.

     When we get close to the end of our book, we will announce the next one!  Our goal is to form a community of book-worm believers who can read faith-building books together and discuss them. The online format means no meetings to attend, and no more stress on your schedule!

    So.... Are you curious to hear what our first book will be?

     A Prayer to Our Father:  Hebrew Origins of the Lord's Prayer by Nehemiah Gordon and Keith Johnson! (ISBN: 978-0-9762637-4-6)  One Karaite Jewish Scholar and one United Methodist Pastor join together to find the true meaning of the Lord's Prayer based on the original Hebrew!  This will undoubtedly feed every believer's faith, and we look forward to sharing it with you.

     Simply get a copy of the book and join in our reading schedule and discussion!  We look forward to getting to know you.

***The reading schedule will be posted soon on our Facebook page and on the Book Club Forum page.

Book Club Under Construction!

The Returning Bride is working on something exciting - a book club with an online format!

This will be a chance for all of us to fellowship together and share some uplifting and faith-building books! Now, we can fellowship from our homes anywhere in the world and edify and learn from each other as we discuss topics relevant to our faith and the lives we lead as believers.

Because of the online format, this will work differently than traditional book clubs. We will be posting details and instructions (as well as the title of our first book) soon. For now, simply visit our Book Club Forum page and take a look around. Read our tips section, and introduce yourself while you're there! Just remember - the board can be viewed by anyone, so please don't post sensitive information.

I look forward to carrying this project forward and to meeting you on the forums soon!
