The "Intentional" Christian Reading Challenge discussion

In 2017, I created this reading challenge group because of my friend Jacquie. I asked if she would like to join me in the Around the Year in 52 Books group challenge. I had participated in that challenge for a few years and really enjoyed it. My dear christian friend declined joining with me and said she wanted to do more "intentional" christian reading for the year. The Lord laid this on my heart to create a group for this type of challenge.

In 2017, the challenge was for 52 weeks, read a book each week that helps you in some way as Christians to grow closer to Christ. This is what my friend meant by "intentional reading".

CHANGES for 2018: The 52 week goal of 2017 may have been a bit high for many of us, including myself who failed miserably even though I created this group! So, for 2018, we will have the same 52 topics, however, you can modify the challenge to suit your christian reading goals.

If you are more of a LIGHT reader and feel you can commit to reading 1 book every 4 weeks, then choose 13 of the categories you would like to read.

If you feel you can read 1 book every 2 weeks, then you are an AVID reader of this challenge. Choose 26 of the categories you would like to read.

If you are a faster reader or just have more time to devote to this challenge by reading 1 book every week, then you are the COMMITTED reader of this challenge. Read a book from each of the 52 categories - 1 per week.

If you want to be SUPER CHALLENGED, then choose two different books for each category - 2 books per week.

So create your own plan from the 52 topics. You can't change the topics, but you can choose whatever book (or audiobook) you are interested in for each topic.

You can read in order or jump around, but keep this order in the plan, as we are using the numbers to quickly find a topic.

Please feel free to add your plans (even if ever-evolving) to the 2018 Plans folder. You can also add your books in the A-Z folders where they can be discussed.
