Ok, I will admit the title is a tad bit corny. Also, something to note, I did intend to post an entry today, however this was not the post I had intended. That post will be coming at a later date. So on to the post…
I am very intrigued my Max Lucado’s book FearLess. Before I get into that, let me back up a lttle.
I serve on the Wellness committee where I work. One of our latest projects was starting a quarterly book club. Because of this, we had a rep from Thomas Nelson Publishing come in and show what they could offer. Which it turns out they could offer a lot of things.
Anyway, it was during this meeting where I could hear a little voice telling me that I needed to become more active on this committee. The voice was telling me I needed to offer to teach a class as another option to the book club. Don’t get me wrong, I think the book club is a good idea, I just think that some people find the term “book club” to be a bit nerdy.
So, back to the meeting… Without a doubt I knew that little voice was God telling me these things. How did I know this? Because anyone who knows me, knows that I am terrified of speaking in front of groups of people. All through out the meeting, in my mind, I kept saying no I can’t do it. Of course by now I am trying to work a deal with God. I starting thinking OK Lord, if you really want me to do this, you are going to have to prove it to me.¬† And here is where it all comes together.
The sales rep then proceeds to pull out Max Lucado’s book FearLess. In my mind I am thinking “Are you kidding me???”.
With that, I proceed to tell them my idea. Now as of right now, no class has been scheduled and if one is, I am not sure if it will be a study of this book. So who knows.
Now about the book. I would like to say I have started reading it, but I haven’t. It has been sitting on my night stand for the past several days. I do plan to read it and hopefully soon I will start it. Perhaps that is what this post is for, to keep me accountable and actually read it. Even though I have not cracked the book open yet, I think it is a subject worth studying. I think I may talk to my pastor about teaching it on Wednesday evenings as well. Like I said, I may never lead a study about this book or the topic of Fear, but I am determined to read the book.
Below is some information about the book including a 4 part video town hall that Max did about that book.
Ok, domain imitator (just kidding). Are you aware of the Thomas Nelson Book Review Bloggers initiative? If you’re not, you should check it out. So where did you come up with the name for the site? And where did you find out about the Apture plugin? And who encouraged you to check out WordPress? Hmmmmmm…..
Good job, my friend. Don’t hesitate to hit me up with questions if you need assistance.
