3 Simple Rules -- Online Resource List

(Picture is of Bishop Reuben Job from UMNS)

I begin teaching tonight on the book by Bishop Job, "3 Simple Rules." It's a short little book, not complicated, not hard to read BUT ... the life that these rules call for might be a little hard to LIVE.

What I think I'm going to do is put a compilation of the links that I have found here and also perhaps some of my reflections from our discussions. (I will regularly update this posting and let it reflect the date of the update as I gather more information. If you have blogged about the 3 Simple Rules, please leave your information in the comments and I will add the resource to the list. Thank you!)

Purchase the Book from Cokesbury
and (equal opportunity link) Amazon
The reviews at Amazon are interesting: the readers have noticed what I have noticed -- the dearth of illustrations and stories. Bishop Schnase's book is easier to read because Bishop Schnase includes real-life illustrations. People want to know HOW -- how do I put this principle to work in my life? How have others grown from this? How does this relate to me?

Notes:

• I've noticed there is no entry for the General Rules in Wikipedia. I suppose it's time to correct that. If you have time before I do, please be my guest.
  
• I've also noticed that there are few "nice Bible Study Outline" for this book online. As I blog, I'll make up some worksheets for more variety.
