User Comments about Autumn of Christian Life
(including field testing)
From participants
* “This book describes the ‘sandwich generation’ well. I could really relate it to my life.”
* “I like that each chapter is a journey that begins with ‘Food for the Journey’ (Bible readings and prayer) and includes ‘Encounters along the Way’, especially when the encounters were true stories – because that helped us share our own personal stories.”
* “It was good to have an ‘Action’ suggested at the end of every chapter to help me apply this new knowledge to my own life.”
* “The sharing across the generations was helpful and fun too.”
From leaders
* “Our ‘Autumn’ class is going along splendidly and has been very well received indeed. Materials are wonderful discussion/reflection starters!”
* “We really like the study!! It has truly fit all in our group in one way or another. We split each chapter into two sessions; we are a rather gabby group!”
* “One group member reflected on her life journey and voluntarily reviewed her life priorities. The skit followed by debate in Session 2 was a great format that worked well.”
* “The process built into this material is interactive, allowing the adults in the group to have a chance to discuss their ideas and to bring forward examples from their own life experiences. The material … opens up avenues for thought that we often don’t put together in our “busyness” regarding our faith and life responsibilities.”
