One Thousand Gifts Book Study
Like it or not, we are headed toward the Holidays.
What better time to begin to prepare than now.
I don't mean with shopping or decorating. I mean to prepare our hearts.
Based on my own experience and the shared experiences of many friends, the preparation of the heart is greatly needed. It's easy to overlook. It affects everything and everyone. And sometimes it seems elusive. But I can promise that the effort to prepare will not be wasted.
There are many ways to prepare, but the step my Bible study group has intentionally taken is to do a book study (and, little do they know, I am also giving them homework!). We finished our Fall study last week, and in the past we have taken an extended break over Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's. This year we are doing it differently. We will fill November and spill into the first week of December reading and discussing One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp.
Would you care to join us?
Our reading and discussion schedule will be:
November 3 we will discuss Chapters 1-3
November 10 Chapters 4-5
November 17 Chapters 6-8
November 24 Thanksgiving
December 1 Chapters 9-11
I put together a few questions from each chapter and posted them here so you can chime in as well.
Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thes 5:16-18
