Meet with the author at your library, your local book store or at home with your book club.
Explore and consider for your church -- parish council, staff, committees, other groups of parish members -- a three-hour or full day workshop spent with the story and the author. Study Guides and Discussion Starters, for example:
> The narrator (Waiting for Mozart, page 24) says that the consequences [of the conflict in the story] would be historic -- "worthy, they'd say when it was over, of the Council Fathers in Rome during the 1960's." Would you agree?
> Would you agree with another author who said, "Fictional characters are more real than people?"
> Is the waiting for Mozart metaphor a strategy or a worldview?
> How would you tell a story set in the year 2040 or 2050 that would be a sequel to Waiting for Mozart and titled The Children of Mozart?
> Shall we talk? Can we talk? Study and use two published articles by the author: Civil Discourse. In Church? and Winning. In Civil Discourse? Find them at Relevant Articles within this website.
