Reviews
“The Christian way shines through this book, breaking into a world
often blinded by consumerism and the need to win at all costs. In six
practical sessions, Janet awakens in us our own right to participate in
God’s continuous re-creation of this world. Yes, wholeness and true
life can become a reality for all.”
— Erica R. Marshall, Townsville Q, Australia
“This document is quite exciting to me! It is so complete! We can
take a ‘script’ like this and gather the folks and start praying
and sharing and growing. It is so simple to work with. The functional details
are there for one to use. The theological details are summarized. It is a
process that will hold the members’ attention and interest. Using the
Social Doctrine as a basis is a wonderful idea! That is a solid foundation
and a very appropriate one for justice. I marvel at how complete and
self-sustained this program is!”
