Welcome to our digging deeper series. In this series of posts we will dig under the surface and really explore a topic. For our first go round I’ve taken one of my favorite books and dissected it and broke it down into ten conversations. Over the next few weeks, we’ll look at some strategies for improving our lives with ten important qualities of life. This study is based on a thought provoking book by John Maxwell and Jim Dornan, entitled Becoming a Person of Influence.
At first this sounds extremely arrogant and forceful. But nothing could be further from the truth. When we look at the ten qualities presented in the book, it quickly becomes apparent that humility and humbleness are required. In fact to truly become a person that others look to for leadership and advice, the following 10 qualities are required…
This book has been very inspiring to me. In some areas I’m doing pretty good… in others I have some struggles. The book presents workable solutions for all of them. Some have hit home with a vengeance. With some minor changes, I’ve seen remarkable differences in my life.
My goal is to take these qualities one by one and share my experiences, struggles, and victories with you. I’ve developed some thought provoking conversation cards that you can print out and use as you follow along. They make great conversation starters and are great for small groups.
The cards have a quotation on the front and an additional building statement on the back. At the bottom of the back side of the card is a thought provoking question. They can be used as study guides, bookmarks, but I really like to use them in discussion groups. Each of the ten points will have five cards that you can print out. The cards will be available as each subject post comes out.
In our next post we’ll get started by looking at the subject of integrity…
Stay tuned…
