The Awareness Event and other resources would be included at the leader's discretion. The course can be adapted to various time frames and any number of type of locations. Breaking Through can be used with adults, youth, mixed age groups, and with groups of diverse abilities. NOTES •••• The opening and closing devotions are based on parts of Breaking Through to keep the continuity of the book and the work-shop. Using various people
and styles can make the devotions/prayers more effective and meaningful.
Use some creativity such as: -alternating lines between male/female, left/right, etc. -alternating people not just leaders for reading/praying -using a dramatic style of presentation -using a reflective/quiet style of presentation -using a litany style of reading Learning Activities are more than needed for each section, thus activities must be selected to suit the type of group, etc. The parts are interchangeable--the bible study can precede the learning activities, and journal or vice versa. Mixing the sessions will keep interest higher. The course can be used for Sunday type classes also, an eight week course, or stretched out to 16. The
cost for this workshop program is $120. which includes the minimum 10
booklets of "Breaking Through", Additional booklets of Breaking Through can be bought at the discounted rate of $8. each Other faith booklets available $5. each --"How Wide Is Your Welcome?" by Ben D. Anderson
