Synopsis

This book reveals the source of stagnant small groups... focusing on everything except the presence of Christ!

Ralph Neighbour does an excellent job explaining the mindset of the current small group member, who worships a historical Jesus, not an everlasting, indwelling Christ. Pastors understand this distinction, but small groups are not filled with seminary graduates, are they?

You and your small group ministry will be powerfully impacted by what Neighbour has to offer in this book!

About this title

From the Inside Flap:

The unadulterated, fabric-free truth about small group ministry in America.

Are you exhausted with doing small groups the same old way, hoping for better results? Are you exasperated by the lack of ownership among your small group members? Are your group leaders burned out? If you know small groups are vital to your church's success but can't figure out how to help them grow naturally, this book is for you! With a frank and unreligious tone, Neighbour diagnoses the challenges surrounding small group ministry, offering practical suggestions that are proven to work.
