Today I’d like to share with you something I’m going to be working on during my\u00a0sabbatical. For the longest time, my bucket list has contained an entry which reads\u00a0“Write a book and get it published”<\/em><\/span>. I think it’s finally time to cross off that entry…<\/p>\n

\"Typwriter\"<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Need and the Vision<\/h2>\n

I’ve been involved with different\u00a0Bible Study groups, both in the USA and back in England, for about ten years. During this time, I’ve searched for\u00a0a book to help\u00a0guide me in leading these different groups.\u00a0Unfortunately, that book doesn’t appear to exist! In the Protestant world, I’ve found books which help with basic Biblical exegesis and personal reading, but nothing substantial on leading a group study. In the Catholic world, there\u00a0are even slimmer\u00a0pickings.\u00a0In light of this, over the next couple of months I’m going to be writing the book that\u00a0I wish I\u00a0had\u00a0read\u00a0a decade ago!<\/p>\n

This book is going to lead the reader through the entire process of running a Bible Study, from beginning to end<\/strong>. My goal is to make this book extremely practical<\/strong>, coving\u00a0all the nitty-gritty details of setting up and running a group. It will guide\u00a0the reader through\u00a0a typical Bible Study meeting<\/strong>, providing lots of handy hints as to how to nurture<\/strong> the discussion and avoid common pitfalls<\/strong>.\u00a0In the appendices I hope to have all kinds of usual material, including a modified version of my commentary on Philippians<\/a>. It is my hope that, even with no prior experience, once somebody has this book in his hands he will have\u00a0everything he needs to start\u00a0a successful Bible Study in his parish.<\/p>\n

You’re Involved too!<\/h2>\n

As a reader of Restless Pilgrim, this involves you! I will be blogging about the book over the coming months and asking for your feedback. This begins today! I’m currently trying to come up with a working title\u00a0for this book. Please help me choose it\u00a0by voting below:<\/p>\n<\/a>
