Six steps—the idea of 'six'.

Why Six Steps to Encouragement?

No reason really. I wrote a course, I looked back over my shoulder and discovered that I had taken six steps or so.

Six is a nice number for a course though.

It falls one short of perfection.

It is half way to a twelve step recovery programme.

You can fit it into a ten weeks of Bible study term, allowing for two prayer nights, a social night and a missionary focus night.

So we followed it up with a 'Six Weeks to Talking about Jesus' course, which seems to have worked.

And I am trying to think about 'Six Steps to Reading the Bible'. If it can't be six, I will have to think of why it has to be five, seven, nine, or twelve. But six steps will be a good run-up.
