Back about 6 weeks ago I proposed a new blog that would have multiple authors. Here is what I wrote:

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. Everybody involved would be bumped up to full admin level to write their posts and invite others.
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.

Several of you responded with your interest in participating in this endeavor and Jonathan Moore agreed to set it up.(That’s twice I’ve name-dropped you in one day, Jonathan.) He did and it’s up and running.

I encourage you to visit Christianreaders.info. So far, only two of us have left posts detailing 9 books.

I just left two quick reviews of The Jesus Machine and My Year Inside Radical Islam.

My dream is that this will expand and more of you will agree to give us insight into what you are reading.

Check it out. And if you are interested in being a part of subsequent discussions and/or giving us your own feedback regarding books, then leave me a comment.
