  1. Michael,
    I REALLY appreciate your blogging through this book. What an incredible undertaking! I revisit it often.
    I do not yet own this book, though I’ve recently read another Stevens book, Playing Heaven: Rediscovering Our Purpose as Participants in the Mission of God.
    His insights on vocation are so very helpful.

  2. Thanks Bob. “Other Six Days” is easily one of the ten most important books I have read in my life and I’ve read hunderds. I think he gets the dynamics of missional better than almost anyone I’ve read.
    I haven’t read “Playing Heaven” yet but intend to soon. I’m glad to hear you seem to get as much out of him as I do.
