Tuesday Book Review

My intention is to organize my blog by a blogging schedule. Here's what it's supposed to look like:

Mon: Open - my choice
Tue: Book Review
Wed: Humor
Thu: The Bible in 365
Fri: Blog Spotlight
Sat: Family
Sun: Sunday Report

I'm going to follow this to the best of my ability as long as it seems to be working for me. If it needs tweaked, I'll gladly tweak it. In the immortal words of Dr. Peter Venkman (Ghost Busters' Bill Murray), It's more of a guideline than a rule.

Of course, right now I'm limited on weekends because of my limited Internet accessibility. That's why I focused on family (no pun intended) in yesterday's post when I wrote about Ben.

I'm also not guaranteeing I'll be writing every day. I do have a life. But like I've said many times before, blogging has become a spiritual discipline for me. It gives me the opportunity to have an outlet for what God is teaching me, and it makes a way for me to stay connected to friends.

My last book review was of Brian McLaren's Everything Must Change. I was going chapter by chapter, which is my modus operandi. Unfortunately I felt the need to take a blogging break, and did not finish that review. It's a great book, and I highly recommend it. (I hope Amazon can handle all the traffic caused by my recommendation - they may have to hire some temps!) I have several unposted chapter blogs in my computer, but rather than go back and finish that off, I'm going to start something new next Tuesday. Actually, it's something old. I'm going to review a classic work by Watchman Nee, entitled The Release of the Spirit. It had been sitting on my shelf for years before I read it this spring. It was powerful for my life, and I think I will retain its teachings better if I put it into my own words (read: blog about it), and I think it will be meaningful for you, too. Pick up a copy, and read along with me.

Tell me about your best laid plans that had to be tweaked in the name of sanity.
