Life is a journey, and we can sit at home safe and sound or we can launch ourselves into the Great Unknown, answering the call of the One who loves us beyond all telling. I choose the call.
…we must lift the sail
And catch the winds of destiny
Wherever they drive the boat.
- – Edgar Lee Masters

“Savoring books, one chapter a day.” – this is the goal of the Chapter-a-Day Read-Along, an online community of global readers who read great literature together, one chapter each day.

It also encourages slowing down and savoring a book’s language and engaging more deeply with the words on the page.
