5.0 out of 5 stars
A Book Worth Sharing,
By Marian the librarian "Franciscan Sister" (Sylvania, OH USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Building Community: Christian, Caring, Vital (Paperback)
I read Building Community: Christian, Caring, Vital earlier this year--it is practical, very insightful, and easily used for group discussions. The exercises and discussion questions at the end of each chapter are applicable to a variety of persons. I have recently ordered multiple copies to use with women in our Christian community. It is a great book for anyone who wants continued growth for themselves and others. Don't miss it!
5.0 out of 5 stars
