I can't wait to try this out with a small group. Very practical. Easy reading. Space and prompts for daily journaling. As you go, the prompts get more and more practical, turning applications more and more intentionally toward the small group.
This book is to accompany a DVD series, which I have not seen yet. But I think the book is so useful, you might not even need the DVDs.
Minor concerns
a. Some Bible translations use American idioms that might be lost on international readers.
b. As is often the case with discussions of small group, little mention is made of how this applies to full families that might attend the small group. It needs to be said that whatever is said of the small group, should be said of a family, too. Leaving families out unintentionally signals that they don't count.
c. Day 36 pushes sabbatarianism. See Romans 14:4-6 & Colossians 2:16.
