Cougarguard Book of the Bi-month
Perhaps we could be like those lame people that have a book of the month, and choose a church history book that a few people could be reading at the same time.
Perhaps "David O. McKay and the Rise of Modern Mormonism" could be the first choice, as recommended by SteelBlue. The other idea that occurred to me is that we could use this to help pay for the costs of hosting the site. Right now I am footing the entire bill. I certainly don't intend to use this site for commercial purposes, but it would be nice to have it pay for itself. So I signed up for this amazon referral thing, where if you buy the book through the link I provide, about 4% goes to me, to defray costs for the site. I'd even be happy to post a running total of the amount made through these links (which I don't expect to be much). Below is the Amazon link. (If you think you might actually buy the book, please wait a day or two, because I'm not sure that my account has been approved yet). If you guys don't like this idea, just say so. UPDATE TO THE UPDATE: We're in business. Click HERE to get to the book link for "David O. McKay and the Rise of Modern Mormonism". |

Excellent idea. As you know, I've already purchased my copy, but for future selections I'm happy to do it your way. It sounds like a great way to build a nice church history library.
I promise you that the McKay book will not disappoint anybody. It will provide lots of interesting discussion for weeks. |

I love the idea. I don't think I can participate in the first installment, but I will definitely jump in on subsequent books.
