In the thread Looking forward to Lenten Discipline, someone (sorry, can't recall who) suggested we have a communal STR Bible or book study as part of our Lenten disciplines and devotions. I think this is an awesome idea!

Any suggestions for what to study? I know a few of us had mentioned wanting to reread various CS Lewis books (from Narnia and otherwise).

I'm going to suggest that we suggest ideas here, and as it gets closer to Lent, set up a poll and vote. So keep the ideas coming!

I will go alone with what ever the group wants.
CS Lewis is a great idea.
So is:

Or Screwtape Letters?

I think through screwtape would be ideal. It's quite short and also organised into clear chapters which would make its study through the forum ideal.

*snickering* Or, if we want to be truly penitent, how about a Lectio Divina reading of the Book of Leviticus?
