Heres another review of We Make the Road by Walking: I read the audio version of this book and I plan to buy the hard copy to use in a study group. I like to hear the audio version of a book in the authors voice, because it adds to my understanding of the intent behind the words. If you are like me, you have a mix of friends along the very conservative - very liberal theological continuum. Our church has a Sunday School class with just such a dilemma - what do you chose to study? We take turns. One person recommends a book (or compelling DVD) and we study that, then another person recommends something completely different, and we study that. This leads to some very lively discussions! The really awesome thing about this kind of mixed Sunday School class is that you get to hear all kinds of ways of thinking about the Bible, and it really helps you grow as a person. One of the study tools that Brian McLaren uses at the end of each chapter in this book are the following Questions for Engagement which I think are particularly helpful for a theologically mixed study group: 1. What one thought or idea from todays lesson especially intrigued, provoked, disturbed, challenged, encouraged, warmed, warned, helped or surprised you? 2. Share a story about a time... 3. How do you respond to ... I believe that God has blessed us all with active and engaging minds and then plunked us down into the middle of groups of people who we often dont agree with. What a great way to grow! amazon/Make-Road-Walking-Reorientation-Activation/dp/1455514004/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1393289410&sr=1-2&keywords=we+make+the+road
