Re: Religious Book Discusion Groups

I came to the Church book discussion group some time after the runaway
success of its The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren.
This book had the vast majority of the Church Congregation talking about
it
in a very positive way.
It was felt by the Church powers that be that perhaps a Sabbatical was
needed before another book was chosen.
This is were I came in.
The book that was chosen was Until we have Face by C.S.Lewis, this has to
be
the most boring book that I have ever read.
The overwhelming majority of the book discussion group felt the same way
and
they left in drove.
The next book was Finding GOD in Unexpected Places by Philip Yancy, this
was 
not much better.
After that we tried the book The Gospel of Judas by Bart D.Ehrman, we
slowly 
began to bring back former book discussion members.
Then we tried Abraham by Bruce Feiler, now the book discussion group was 
starting to regain some of its former glory or should I say respect?
Then we tried Christ the Lord out of Egypt by Anne Rice, now we were back
on 
track.
We now have a short list of books under consideration.
The next book up for discussion is Christianity for the rest of us by
Diana 
Butler Bass.

On the short list of possible future books open for discussion are,
not in any kind of order what so ever.
The Purpose Driven Church by Rick Warren.
Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson & David Oliver Relin.
The Year of Living Biblically by A.J.Jacobs.
Christ the Lord the Road to Cana by Anne Rice.
Walking the Bible by Bruce Feiler.
The Secret Supper by Javier Sierra.
God's Problem by Bart D.Hhrman.
The Lost Ark of the Covenant by Tudor Parfitt.
Ministry on Fire by B.Bruce Humphrey.
When Religion Becomes Evil by Charles Kimball.
