Happy New Years Eve. My name is Michelle Higgins and I am currently reading your book "Discipleship Essentials". I am working to introduce my church to the micro-group concept. I have studied with Dr. Elaine Heath and Diana Butler Bass and your book brings everything I have learned so far, together in a way that makes so much sense. Thank you for your thoughts and I will gladly accept any pearls of wisdom to use when speaking to a traditional church who acknowledges something needs to change but is deaf, dumb and blind to progressive thinking.
