Comment from Rev. Ron Hines in October 2009: A super resource on economic issues and Judeo-Christian Faith. Used at Lazy F camp with older adults for Lazy Daze camp. Extremely useful and stimulated conversation.

Comment from John Peek of Pioneer UMC in January 2010: Outstanding. Be sure to use bonus questions. They are worthy of 1-2 additional sessions. Dr. Brueggemann forces one to think about the choices we make!
