some good philosophies
A great book .... It shows a way of life
Very practical and helpful. The shapes are simple - I will never look at a stop sign the same way again - and really do help the concepts stick. A great framework for discipleship. I look forward to reading the rest of his books to fill in the blanks.
Helpful. A simple pattern for discipleship.
