Reading challenges for 2022, part II


Now, I'm not Christian, and some of these prompts are pretty... awful to me. But I love the idea of "Light", "Avid", "Committed" and "Obsessed", and some of the prompts are interesting. So... if you are interested, replace the prompts you don't like with ones you like :-D
