The <a name=\"Imitation of Christ Weekly Reading Schedule\" href=\"http:\/\/imitatechrist.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/weekly-chapter-reading-list.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">reading schedule<\/a> is posted online. It involves about 5 minutes (or less) a day, to read just the text\u2014a little longer if you follow the other suggested daily readings. <strong>Men, feel free to attend the breakfast meetings, whether or not you do the suggested reading.<\/strong> The recommended reading won&#8217;t hurt you, but we&#8217;ll cover the material at breakfast. Our goal this year is to seriously consider the imitation of Christ.<\/p>\n<p>If you attend the Men&#8217;s breakfast group, don&#8217;t worry about the book or materials.
