3.0 out of 5 stars It's an overview, February 25, 2000

This review is from: Discipleship Journal's 101 Best Small Group Ideas (Paperback)

This book gives you a nice overview of anything about small group. Plus, a lot of practical exercises. However, you don't get too much detail on the subject.

5.0 out of 5 stars A nice guidelines for small-group leaders, August 18, 2005

This review is from: Discipleship Journal's 101 Best Small Group Ideas (Paperback)

If you long to be more influential for people's lives, and WILLING to learn to be a better small-group leader... This one serves a very good guidelines for you. It's true it does NOT give you details, it gives you guidelines! However, I don't think details will work well since there're numerous varieties among all small-groups. Thus, guidelines serve better for me. I learn to develop details based on these guidelines.

I used some techniques in the book and did a feedback,which turned out to be wonderfully positive! Also, people said they knew more about God after one study I led based on the method. And help people know more about God is all you want, isn't it?

Therefore, this is a very good book for small-group leaders in my opinion.

It is not a matter of who NEEDS to learn, it is a matter of who is WILLING to learn...

Enjoy!
