Preface

Teaching Activities

          Look up Aristotle's discussion of friendship in the Nichomachean Ethics (books 9 and 10). Compare and contrast

          this understanding of friendship with the ideas on grace and friendship found in Gracious Christianity (p.9)

          Have each person in your group or class recount the best example of graciousness they observed

          during the last week.  Is the group encouraged by the quality of these examples or discouraged by

          the relatively low levels of graciousness exhibited?

          Encourage people to share stories of how they became friends with people they may have at first

          thought were odd or disagreeable.
