Month 1: LOTR Read-along!

Helpful Thoughts & Notes: Prologue & Ch. 1-3

Hey friends,

I love seeing all the introductions come in and the diversity of folks who have joined! It’s going to be a fun and meaningful time together as we crack open this rich story.

I wanted to send off the first month’s message as our read-along officially kicks off tomorrow and you jump into the prologue and first three chapters this next month.

Below will be a note to the first-time readers and some overall things to look out for as you read, highlight, take notes and process. I’m not sure how much or how little to put into these monthly posts so I am going to give it a shot and we can work through it as we move forward. The main goal is be a guide as you read — helping you see the beauty and truth of the story and how you can carry meaning back into your daily life. Also, please feel free to use our chat as a place to share meaningful pieces of the story, quotes and questions you might have.
