Life has been hectic the last month and a half! My thoughts recently turned to this blog and I realized that I had not announced here that The Class Meeting: Reclaiming a Forgotten (and Essential) Small Group Experience is now available. The book can be purchased in print directly from Seedbed at the previous link. (It is only available in print directly from Seedbed.) It can also be purchased electronically through a variety of e-formats, including Amazon Kindle. This link will take you directly to Amazon’s Kindle listing for the book.
Seedbed has created a page for the book that has much more information: http://classmeeting.seedbed.com/
Seedbed has also included a page that contains links to reviews written online: http://classmeeting.seedbed.com/reviews/
My previous post included several of the advanced reviews that the book received.
Finally, I wrote a post for Seedbed.com that was published on the day the book was released. I also did a video interview that they published. You can view the post here and the interview here.
I am encouraged and grateful for the enthusiasm I am seeing for reclaiming the Wesleyan class meeting. Thank you for your support!
Hello Kevin, The Church I belong to is beginning class meetings using your book as an eight week guide to start these groups. I am very favorably impressed with your coverage of Wesley’s Classing Meetings and believe this will be a successful program. When I accessed your Blog site, I immediately found that you use Word Press which I am also using for my Blog. I am an elder man who recently authored a book about my life. Westbow Press published my book and in promoting it they got me started writing Blogs. My Blog site is: authorwilliambelknap.wordpress.com if you would care to have a look. My email is dkbwbb@att.net The church using your book is Bartlesville First Church, a United Methodist Community. The church staff member overseeing the Class Meeting program is Colleen Runty and her email is: colleen.runty@bartlesvillefirstchurch.com She is young and could use encouragement.
Best Regards, Bill Belknap
