CM Series - Volume 5 study

Well, ladies, last year there was a lot of talk about Volume 5 being a foundational resource, and guess what? CM Series has just launched a study of Volume 5 (Formation of Character), led by Art Middlekauff. We've had the pleasure of meeting Art and his wife and children at the ChildLight USA conference the past 2 years, and Art is a highly articulate, thoughtful, well researched individual. He's been a frequent contributor to the CM Series discussions in the past and has set the schedule for Volume 5, which includes posting questions to contemplate and discuss as you read each section. The book has been divided up to be completed over the next 7 months, and I'm attaching the schedule below. If you want to be part of the email discussion, you need to sign up for the CM Series group.
If you don't own your own copy of Volume 5, it is available online in original form and in a modern translation. If you want to read it on a portable device, Art has formatted it to eReader for Palm OS (personally, I don't know what that is, but if it means something to you, go for it!)

Here is Art's note to the email group:

On Sunday we will begin a study of Volume 5, "The Formation Of
Character". The plan is to cover the book in seven months. May the
Lord add His blessing as we read, discuss, and apply.
