Anyone interested in having a group book read?

[I Have A Dream]

cassiepriam mentioned the idea of a group book read a while back, and I thought that it was a great idea. She suggested the book "Life between Lives' by Michael Newton. Here's the information about it on Amazon:

Is anyone interested in doing this? If not this book, we're open to other suggestions for books as well.

If we decide to do this and you're interested but can't afford the book, I can get a few additional books and send them out. (Everyone who wants to be involved should be able to be.) Please just PM me if you need a copy of whatever book we decide upon.

Please respond in this thread if you are interested in the idea of a group book read and, if so, what book you would find interesting.

1. This sounds good to me

because I've already read Journey of the Souls and Destiny of the Souls.

[Crowdance]

2. I'd like to join in.

I'll order the book.

3. I'm reading A Return to Love right now...

maybe I'll catch you all next book around?

[I Have A Dream]

5. Sounds great, oxbow.

I hope that things work out so that we do more than one book.

[Punkingal]

4. Sounds great....

I would like to read the Newton book.

6. Good idea

I'd like to suggest we use a book that may be available in local libraries. Unfortunately, I'm going through some financial times and am unable to purchase new books. The good thing is that I've got a great local library system and use it a lot.

[I Have A Dream]

7. I'm so glad that you want to join us, in search of sanity.

After reading the above posts, at least one person's already bought the book based upon this. I'm going to send you a PM to discuss this further.

I'm really looking forward to this! :)

On edit: I'm going to check to see if Crowdance has already ordered it.)

8. Mea Culpa PLEASE ORDER THE CORRECT TITLE

I am so sorry, I did not double check the Newton title. I have read all of his books and I got his first book confused with a later one. We want to read the first one. JOURNEY OF SOULS.

Please see the descriptions below. It can be ordered at amazon.com. I am also including Dr. Newton's website info. FYI

If you have already ordered the Lives Between Lives I am hoping that you can return it! Since it is my mistake I am willing to reimburse for postage if anyone needs that!

As I told Dream, this is what happens when you get old and the brain cells go bye bye. :(( And this is what I get for multitasking and doing too many things at one time.)

Whip me with a wet noodle. And many thanks to the person who PM'd Dream about the mistake! (I wish I could hire you guys to keep me organized :))

[I Have A Dream]

9. IMPORTANT CORRECTION! The proposed book is 'Journey of Souls'...

by Michael Newton. (This book is an earlier book from the same author.)

Here's the link to this book on Amazon:

Sorry for the confusion!

[Crowdance]

12. Ordered!

I look forward to our discussion.

[I Have A Dream]

13. I just ordered mine also! n/t

[u4ic]

14. I just requested it from my library

and I'm first on the list. I should have it by Friday! :bounce:

(I'm very glad for the change, as they didn't have the Life Between Lives title)

[I Have A Dream]

15. Well obviously it was supposed to be! I'm so glad that it worked out...

for you, u4ic! It's going to be great fun!

:hug:

[Angel Wings]

16. OH GREAT!!

I'd love to join! I love that book. I read it a couple of years ago and all I have to do is find it. I was just thinking last week that I wanted to reread it lol.


Oh yeah, I'm new here. Hi guys!:hi:

[I Have A Dream]

17. Hi, Dreamy! Welcome to DU & to the Spirituality group.

I'm so happy that you're going to join us. Just to be certain, I want to make sure that you're aware that we changed the book from the 'Life Between Lives' to 'Journey of Souls' by the same author. There was a bit of confusion about the name of the book that we wanted to read.

:hi:

[u4ic]

25. Welcome to DU, Dreamy

and to our forum! :hi:

[I Have A Dream]

18. We're going to go with the book 'Journey of Souls'...

as was discussed in a few earlier posts. cassiepriam and I are going to figure out how to break it up as soon as I get my copy of the book. We'll post a separate thread with the details and the breakdown. We hope that anyone who's interested in joining us will be ready to start within a week. Please look for the separate thread which will be entitled something like BOOK READ: 'Journey of Souls' by Michael Newton. It will have separate posts with the timeline and chapters.

Again, if anyone wants to participate but feels that they can't because of financial constraints, please PM me.

[Angel Wings]

19. Thank you so much for the welcome!

And ,yes, I understand that the book was changed to Journey of Souls. I should be able to get my copy back from my sister this weekend. I can't wait to get started. I think it will be so much fun to discuss this book with other people.

[Flying Dream Blues]

20. I just bought the book online. Looking forward to it! nt

[I Have A Dream]

21. I'm glad to hear it, ThruTheLookingGlass!

I sent you a PM about the book title to make sure that you ordered the correct one.

[Flying Dream Blues]

22. Thanks, IHAD. I ordered Journey of Souls. It looks great. nt

[LaurenG]

23. I would be interested as well

I don't think I've read anything by him before.

[InvisibleTouch]

24. Interested.

I'll have to see if I can get the book from my library, though. And I already have a stack of books clamoring to be read, so I can't guarantee how well I can keep up, but I'm definitely interested.

What's the timeframe you're thinking of? A week or so to read the book, and then everyone posts their thoughts on a specific date - or, everyone posts their thoughts chapter-by-chapter ... etc. ?

[I Have A Dream]

26. I'm glad that you're interested, InvisibleTouch.

We're giving people a few days to get the book at this point. We're going to be posting a separate thread very soon with all of the details in it. I suspect that we're going to do the read over a period of a month with chapters for specific periods of time.

We hope to get this thread posted very soon. Please look for the thread. It will be titled something similar to 'BOOK READ: 'Journey of Souls' by Michael Newton, Ph.D.'

[InvisibleTouch]

27. Cool. Thanks!

I've got the book on reserve at the library now. Should be available within a few days.

[Angel Wings]

28. Well, I had to order another copy after all

which i did today. So, I'm hoping I will have it by the end of next week.:-)

[I Have A Dream]

29. ** PROPOSED START DATE FOR THE BOOK READ IS FRIDAY, MARCH 24 **

If this will be a problem for anyone, please post something here by the end of the weekend. On Monday or Tuesday (3/20 or 3/21), we'll start a new thread with the timeline and chapters broken down and that will be the book read's thread. Please reply to this particular post rather than in the main thread to make sure that your comment isn't inadvertently overlooked.

Thanks!

[Crowdance]

30. I'll be out of town all that weekend.

Monday, the 27th would be best for me. But, I will catch up when I return if the group begins on Friday.
