This book is a must-read for any person or church looking to promote and encourage personal growth, spiritual maturity through personal reflection, and for those looking to develop successful small-group ministries.
A life of reflection is essential for spiritual growth. In this book, Rev. D. writes on topics that he has experienced/encountered in church and in life, sharing his thoughts and conclusions. He has made himself vulnerable throughout this book by being transparent and by reflecting on potentially negative situations to learn lessons along the way. Each entry comes with reflection questions which are designed to prompt thought. Readers will connect with the relatable situations and experiences, and can use the responses to help with their own spiritual growth. If using this book for small group discussion, there is plenty of room for the individual to record his or her own ideas as well as engage in meaningful conversation. Strategies for building a culture of growth and authenticity are included as a framework as well.
