This review is from: Connecting with God's Family: Six Sessions on Fellowship (DVD)

This is an excellent resource for Sunday school classes or other small group settings. The materials developed by "Life Together" uniquely integrate the 5 purposes, identified by Rick Warren, into each session. Each title provides enough material from which to choose that you can go longer or shorter in any session depending on your situation. In this title, each session focuses on the purpose of "Fellowship" while also incorporating elements of the other 4 purposes. I recommend you start with "Beginning Life Together" (which introduces this series) and then enjoy your journey through the 5 purposes. These work wonderfully along side Rick Warren's popular book, The Purpose Driven Life.
