Looks like a Solus Christus reading "group" is coming together afterall. Go figure? Let's plan to begin our book the first week of October. I'll try to post a couple of times this week about our Nerd Herd and see if we can generate some more interest. Then, on Friday, I'll plan to divulge the title. That will give everyone a full week to track down the book, which should be ample time to order, receive, and be able to begin reading during the first week of October.
Although I've only read about 1/2 of God is the Gospel, we may take a different route? John Piper claims that all of his books say the same thing (not true, but that's what he says) and recommends only reading one of his titles. God is the Gospel is a wonderful exposition of II Cor. 4, but I'm guessing everyone on the list has read at least one Piper book already. If not, do so.
In keeping with part of the overal vision of this blog, I'd like to see us work through a lesser known title, and in so doing, hope to expose some of our readers to an author or book they wouldn't have heard of otherwise. Suggestions? New or old, but preferably not to thick!
Here's our geek roll:

How about something on prayer?
Count me in.
Know your people Mr. Thomas =)...Sparks not Proseus. As for some suggestions (I could only narrow it down to my top 8)
1. True Discipleship - Williams McDonald *
2. Redemption Accomplished and Applied- John Murray
3. The Christian Warrior- Isaac Ambrose
4. Heaven Taken By Storm- Thomas Watson *
5. Words to Winners of Souls- Horatius Bonar *
6. The Attributes of God- A.W Pink *
7. The True Christian's Love to the Unseen Christ- Thomas Vincent
8. The Believer's Joy- Robert Murray McCheyne
I'm in! I like Vincent's 'The True Christian's Love to the Unseen Christ' suggestion or maybe Blaike and Law's "Inner Life of Christ' or maybe Flavel's "Keeping the Heart"
Yeah, what Nathan said!
Dude - I can tell that I am way out of my league. Melissa and Nate are bringing it with those selections. I'm more like a book nerd sidekick.
I need to get out more.
My apologies to "Miss Sparkles" as my kids like to say. Great selections by you and the others. All of them look great. Good thing about reading groups is we can always start another once we finish the first!
Clay is eagerly in too!
