About this ebook
Is there any arena in the contemporary church more perplexing than small groups? Leaders and participants alike fill them with promises of unparalleled spiritual intimacy and reliable relationship. Experts put forward model after model, paradigm after paradigm, and frustrated small group leaders and followers meander from one to the next in increasingly vain hope that the next model will deliver the goods. What could be more natural than a group of people sitting together, talking? What could be more contrived than a packaged curriculum, with prefab questions and notes for leaders? Such is the problem of small groups. Scott Boren has wrestled with these challenges for years, in the context of his own small-group ministries and in consultation with churches of every stripe. In this book he reminds us that any small group, no matter how it's organized, is at its heart a collection of people each walking in the way of Jesus. That means we are going somewhere—together—and that means we have a reliable guide.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5For my Small Group Facilitation Class on of the books we were required to read was the title above. I appreciated the content of this book above any of the other books required because of the central focus on Jesus. Not that other titles did not focus on Jesus, but, as I read this title I found that I was submersed in a different perspective than my own. I will defiantly be finding a physical copy of this title so that it is revisited in the future. A great read for anyone wanting to improve their small group leadership skills.
