  1. I was particularly impacted by aspects of the author's treatment of grace (unmerited favor). It goes without saying that we are saved by it but if we look back I think we can all see that there were people the helped us reach that saving point. The same applies to sanctification which, for individualists like me, is really hard submit to. Of course God actually brings our sanctification about but the concept of others being His primary tools is again hard to accept. Please pray that this study will help me be more open and that it will help my group do the same.
    In Christ,
    Syd
