Reading the Signs of the Times A 7 Week Small-Group Process for Social Change

Reading the Sings of the Times is a tool that the growing number of small Christian communities can use for identifying social needs within their larger communities and for deciding what action to take in response. The process is easy to lead but thorough. The first six sessions focus on examining a different "reality" in the larger community -- cultural, economic, family, political, media, and religious -- using a format that combines, prayer, scripture, and reflection. The concluding session helps the group decide on a specific social action based on their observations and reflections. Because the book is written in both English and Spanish, people used to speaking either of these two languages can achieve some unity by using the same process to examine their communities.Petersen, Nora is the author of 'Reading the Signs of the Times A 7 Week Small-Group Process for Social Change' with ISBN 9780893905422 and ISBN 0893905429.
