God Is Closer Than You Think Curriculum Kit Six Sessions on Experiencing the Presence of God The story of the Bible is the story of God's desire to be with people. God is extending himself, stretching out to reach us, to fill our lives with his presence. Every moment of your life is like a page in a Where's Waldo? book. God is there, the Scriptures tell us---on every one of them. But the ease with which he may be found varies from one page to the next. In this six-session Zondervan Groupware video curriculum, award-winning author John Ortberg serves as guide and interpretive leader for experiencing the presence of God in everyday life. With his engaging and humorous style, Ortberg transforms our view of God's presence from one that may seem hidden or distant to one that is closer than you think. The curriculum kit is designed for churches to use as a spiritual growth campaign. It includes a six-session small group participant's guide, a six-session DVD (with a thirty-two--page leader's guide) featuring John Ortberg teaching, a CD-ROM (with sermon resources and promotional materials), and one copy of the hardcover book. The participant's guide, Small Group Edition DVD, and book are also sold separately.

This review is from: God Is Closer Than You Think: Six Sessions on Experiencing the Presence of God (Zondervangroupware Small Group DVD Edition) (DVD)

This is a good small group video series. We have used it at our CC Choir meetings and in 15 - 20 minutes it provides a nice emphasis to our practices.

This review is from: God Is Closer Than You Think: Six Sessions on Experiencing the Presence of God (Zondervangroupware Small Group DVD Edition) (DVD)

This review is for John Ortberg's book and DVD and the study guide that accompanies them. We purchased these items for use with our Christian small group and found it to be an excellent study. The book is very engaging and full of "gems" and practical applications for allowing us to realize that God is right here, closer than we think.
You could do the study with just the DVD and study guide but I highly reccomend the book as the DVD is a much abbreviated version of the text. The study guide has plenty of thought and discussion provoking questions (way more than we could do in any 1 1/2 hour session).
