I've seen Dan make this presentation live three times at different venues. But this curriculum is a great way to learn what Dan has to say without seeing him live. The dvd's and discussion materials are "very to the point" and creatively put together. You get more out of these materials in a shorter time than seeing Dan speak for a full day.

I also like the other stuff that comes on the DVD. You also get sermon outlines and short clips to use for your messages, if you want to preach on the series or any of the individual topics. There is also graphics and publicity materials for use in your church that match the book cover.

What's missing in these materials? The Q & A interaction that you get if you see Dan live. Though he has a great way of engaging his audiences in a live setting, you will be very engaged with these materials, too!

This study is something that i feel all church leaders should be participating in. As disciples and missionaries in our own culture, it is imperative that we see and understand what those outside the church see inside the church. I've had some of these same discussions with students, co-workers and even family members about many of these same misconceptions. I've started to use this study in our council meetings and other leadership meetings to help expose all who are in a leadership role in our community to see those outside the church and possibly help them see form the eyes of those who like Jesus but not the church.

This addresses important glaring problems that force nonbelievers to not even consider Jesus because Christians are so horrible to them. The author has a heart to have people come to Jesus and he wants Christians to get their issues out of the way. He is honest about his own history and struggles. He interviews people to get their perspectives. The video takes a while to get to the menu screens but has some good content to go with the small group questions.
