Imitate Christ in 2012!
This week concludes the One Year Bible Challenge for the Saturday Morning Men’s Breakfast group. Between 50 and 100 people committed to Read the Whole Bible this year, through some connection with the Bible Study group. If you read all or part of the Bible this year, and want to share your story, please write to me.
In 2012, the Men’s Breakfast group is reading The Imitation of Christ, by Thomas à Kempis. The reading schedule is posted online. It involves about 5 minutes (or less) a day, to read just the text—a little longer if you follow the other suggested daily readings. Men, feel free to attend the breakfast meetings, whether or not you do the suggested reading. The recommended reading won’t hurt you, but we’ll cover the material at breakfast. Our goal this year is to seriously consider the imitation of Christ.
If you attend the Men’s breakfast group, don’t worry about the book or materials. As always, you buy your own breakfast, we’ll supply the materials.
Anyone else can obtain the book in EPUB or PDF format from Google.com/books. Amazon sells an inexpensive version of The Imitation of Christ for about $2.50. There are hundreds of translations of The Imitation of Christ. The main text I am using is the one by Aloysius Croft and Harold Bolton, first published in 1940.
