I propose a blog with as many authors as possible to discuss Christian and Ministry related books. Let’s face it, there are too many books being churned out that affect us as Christians and ministers for us to keep up with them all. In the time I wrote this NT Wright has released two new books. I, for one, feel overwhelmed with trying to stay up to date with what is out there. I don’t have the time to read everything. And I sure don’t have the fungible cash.

So, how about this: let’s create a blog where as many people as interested can post their thoughts on relevant books that they have read. It can be in whatever format you want. You can write a review, thumbnail, outline. You name it. Any discussion that your post generates will be contingent on the interest of that book. This way we can get an understanding of more books without having to read them and we can determine which books are important for us to pick up on our own.

To join the discussion, all you have to do is write adm...@christianreaders.info to request login info. This process is a bit more tedious than usual for commenting on a blog (for which we apologize) but is probably necessary because of this site's nature: the community of users will have post and edit permission, not just comment.

Once you're logged in, you can create a new blog entry to initiate discussion of a new book by:

1. clicking "create content"
2. clicking "story"
3. filling in a title and the body of your post
4. clicking "submit" or "preview" and then "submit"

Also, once you've finished a book, we encourage you to consider sharing it with someone else via BookMooch.com . It's a good way to both give and receive used books.
