Introductions
This is a friendly reminder that this readalong is set to 'public', which means anyone anywhere can join our conversation. This is a good thing! But, keep this in mind when responding to questions as we go through the book. As the host, I have chosen to share my first and last name in this question; you are not obligated to share more than what you are comfortable doing.
1. What is your name? What are your pronouns?
2. Have you read portions of the Bible before? What parts/books/passages have you enjoyed? What parts have you avoided or don't like?
If this book inspires you to want to read more of the Bible, you can pick one up on your own, ask Pastor Rebecca for recommendations or for a copy to be shipped to you, or you can read it online. There are several translations available for reading online or audiobook listening on YouTube or through your local library.
