"The Upper Room has crafted a practical tool for assisting pilgrims on the journey of transformation," writes one reviewer. " The Way of Transforming Discipleship is for anyone who is on the way to becoming a true Christ-follower. Not only is this a must-read, but even more so, it is a must-do resource!" A group experience of this resource consists of a preparatory meeting, 5 weekly sessions, and a closing retreat. The Way of Transforming Discipleship is appropriate for any group that has completed the Companions in Christ 28-week foundational resource, or it may also be used as an introduction to this powerful program.
My Sunday evening small group did this book together and it turned out to be better experience than I expected. Having done the original Companions in Christ, I wasn't sure this would measure up. The first book was led by a very passionate minister, this was all lay people. Here it comes, but The group meeting exercises really made the reading and journaling come to life! Love when that happens. The book is more of an experience than just a good read.
