A couple of simple questions to reflect on and share with each other as we prepare to read this book together: What is it that makes you want to read this book? What do you hope to gain from a reading of this book?

One of the things that I hope to gain is to gain some deeper insights on possible ways to go to the next level in relationship building and growing in discipleship. As a leader of a small group ministry, it occurs to me that growth is an ever changing thing so I need to constantly and humbly look for additional insights, wisdom, stories, and instruction on how to facilitate this in the roles that I fill.
Hello John - and all participants. Obviously finding ways to move forward in developing relationship within the body is a primary goal - personalized. Part of my reason in participating is that I am connecting in some real way with brothers/sisters beyond my local area. Though I will contribute, I hope to gain as much from them in developing my thinking on an issue of common interest. The book though good and helpful provides the common ground for this relationship. What we say to one another in the context of our discussion should be most helpful as it is the "between us" that the Spirit actually can work. Though the book shapes our thinking and conversation it will be when we reach out and touch that the relationship moves forward. Often in church there is much discussion in any given class - but seldom real connection between individuals - highlighting the need for this study in the context of mutually interested parties so we can take this back to those we have responsibility for and better relate to them.

John - I think I'm in, so I can start contributing @ some point.
