Me, Jesus, a Beer, and a Cigar is great for book clubs. The 65 short chapters followed by brief commentaries make for easy, thought-provoking discussions – and poignant as well. There are several ways to do discussion.
One, the book club leader can read the book and select certain chapters to be discussed over the allotted number of discussion weeks.
Two, the entire book club can read and discuss as it goes from week to week, perhaps concentrating on three chapters per week.
Three, I can provide recommendations for as many weeks as you care to discuss if you simply write to me and let me know how many weeks your book club normally spends on a book.
