Along with four good men and good friends, we’re starting a book club for the new year. Its main purpose is to meet initially twice a month and share lives while encouraging each other in our own spiritual lives to seek the Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name 2020 is two fold in its meaning. Of course it’s the Year of Our Lord 2020 A.D. And it’s about vision, 20\/20, seeing things clearly, from God’s perspective, as He shares with us, in and about our day and times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve begun our introductory meetings and an introductory book <\/a>this month to get established. And I’ll include an ever-expanding list of books that have come to our attention as possible good reads below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

While good books will serve as a catalyst for discussion and vision, the main purpose of our group is friendship, listening, speaking and praying into one another’s lives. May I humbly suggest you find a few friends, and do something similar this year, and soon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
