My story behind reading this book is interesting. I came across it reviewing my blogs one day and though eh...I'll order it. It wasn't that expensive and I've read other books like this one before. Like the author, I've been looking for ways to engage people more into being what God wants them to be. I had just gotten the book the day previous, and had skimmed through it. What I found peaked my interest even more. I intended giving the book a good reading more later in the day, but first I had a breakfast meeting to go to. When I got to the meeting, one of the guys couldn't make it, so it was just two of us. Low and behold, during the conversation, we began to speak about teaching those we were in contact with. Ah-ha, I thought. My chance to see if what I had learned so far would pay off. Wow - was I surprised. The discussion centered on the subject of this book. The more we talked, the more I thought, I wonder if he has read this book. I pulled the book out and he had not. So... I let him take the book.

A couple of days later, I was messaging with him, and asked him had he read it. He said not only that he had read it but that it was like he had always been reading it. It was affirming everything that he was thinking, and you could hear the excitement in his voice. So - I told him he could have it, and promptly ordered me another copy.

The book is well worth the money and time to read it! It will definitely enlighten you if you're into building small Christian groups and helping people better their lives. But be prepared to heat a different drum beat in this book.
