We used this for our Lenten meetings this year in ur church and I found it hard to get into it, the thinking did not sark any ideas in my mind.

Somewhat hard going

Tessa Barton

Just prepared the 1st session for a small group. When I say ‘prepare’, I mean read through as no ‘work’ to do. Everything is there and I am excited to be taking this course.

Excellent resource
