Book clubs have become pretty popular (thanks Oprah), and it’s gotten me thinking about the possibility of doing an online book club here at the YL Leader.
I’m thinking it would work like this.
- People get interested in a particular book & leave comments here.
- When enough people say they’re interested (that could really be 2), we can give author rights to the leader.
- The leader will make a post inviting others to join in, giving details about the book and when they study will start.
- Once a week (or whatever frequency the leader chooses) he/she will post thoughts about that week’s chapter. Everyone who’s reading along can post comments and discuss the book.
- People can join in whenever.
I think this would be great for community building. Even if it’s something you’re doing in your own areas, why not use this blog to conduct some of the discussions, so other people can join in?
Does that sound like something any of you are interested in? Any book ideas? Anyone want to be a leader?

I think this would be a great Idea. I would like to suggest Velvet Elvis by…Brad Bell(I think). I read most of this book this summer while on Summer Staff at Windy Gap, and it made me think alot. I didn’t agree with some of it and I think It would be great to read with a group and be able to discuss it further.

I have also been interested in reading Velvet Elvis, that could be good. Do you have any ideas, Chris?
