At one point I mentioned this to my house church and we decided as a group to pursue this. We've spent the summer and fall reading through 1 Samuel and are starting 2 Samuel now.
Then I stumbled across a book by Mike Bickle called "After God's Own Heart". After just the first few pages I knew this book was going to be used by God to change my entire perspective about God's Love for me and how to have a deeper and more intimate relationship with Him.
I've shared what I've been learning and some of the ideas from this book with friends at work. Three of us decided to read this book together and discuss it as we go along. We decided to open it up and throw out the idea to the entire building. I pulled together a synopsis of the book, my reasons for doing the discussion and a couple reviews and sent an email. Now we have ordered our books and should have them next week (I was reading a copy that belonged to a friend, but kept wanting to take notes in it so I figured I need my own copy anyway.) We have 11 people who have committed to reading this book and meeting 2x a month to talk about what the Lord is revealing to us! WOW!!!! God is amazing and I think He is up to some pretty cool stuff this year. I can't wait to find out what it all is!
Here is one of my favorite reviews of this book, which I found on the Forerunner Store website -
WARNING: This book will warp your mind. Do not read it if you plan to live a normal life. It is dangerous. I use to be a normal Christian. But now I am ruined for anything else. ~ Daniel Erwin
