The ABF Book gave me direction for my ministry,
By
This review is from: The ABF Book (Paperback)
I read the ABF Book several years ago it helped me shape my vision and direction for my ministry as an Adult Ministries Pastor. The ABF philosophy is about building midsize communities that kind of look like adult "youth groups". Attempting to take this philosophy to another level I started a website entitled, abfresources.com where churches submit ideas on building ABFs. It also offers some other materials in written and audio formats on building ABFs. It even offers an ABF Confererence for further training. Hundreds of churches use some form of the Adult Bible Fellowship model today. Many thanks to Knute Larson for his vision for building community in the Church.

Worth the work to read,

This review is from: The ABF Book (Paperback)
I would love to see a revised version someday. Until then, this book will help you discover how to implement a model that will work in the Sunday School hour that will:
1. help your people connect with each other, 2. provide the challenging biblical content they need to grow 3. and provide the needed care to make sure people don't slip through the cracks. In my occasionally humble opinion, this is definitely not the best written book you'll every read. BUT it's worth the work to get to the principles inside. Another reviewer recommended the Connecting Church. By all means, buy and read it. It is a great book. BUT that author's purpose only overlaps a little with the ABF philosophy. If you are not already familiar with the model, the ABF Book will give you the tools you need to challenge, connect and care for your people. [...]

Really like the ABF model,
This review is from: The ABF Book (Paperback)
We read this book a few years ago when we were part of starting an ABF at our church. It is a great model and I wish more churches followed this model of an adult class. We wanted a copy of our own to flip through.
