By the summer of 2004 this book had been on my radar for a year or so. The purpose driven church was its forerunner and now the personal version had appeared. Some friends had read it and my wife had started studying it in a small group. Perhaps I ought to find out more.
The final barrier was my pride in preferring to be in on something at the beginning rather than jumping on a bandwagon. But, for the good of research and not wanting to miss out on a blessing, I jumped in. The book suggested tackling it a chapter a day - so that was my summer project and something I knew I could easily tackle.
