I was immediately sold on the idea that this book is championing, a weekly small group meeting where people discuss where they are at spiritually for a few minutes each. Sharing personal spiritual experiences, group prayer, and community support have always been essential to my religious life. Unfortunately, the author's delivery is slow, repetitive, and overly concerned with trying to convince an audience who wouldn't even pick up the book if they weren't inclined to agree with him.

Skip the book and just try the practice. Maybe reading the book first prevents some hiccups and small awkwardness in some groups, but spending the time it would take to read this book actually doing the meetings would be even more helpful.

Read half of it for small group. Didn't love it... I'm not the right audience, and the author is very black and white. Didn't finish it.
