How to Act Like a Christian : Leader's Guide

Christians teach each other….

Sometimes it is hard to figure out God's will or deal with a difficult issue. That's why Christians need one another and hold one another accountable. This leader's guide will help a small group study Leith Anderson's How to Act Like a Christian, which addresses the questions and needs that Christians bring to the faith and offers helpful and encouraging answers about: Love, Forgiveness, Care, Money, Sex, Decision-making, Criticism, Illness, Grief, Purpose, Prayer, Hope, and Faith.

Leader helps include:

• Full guidelines and outlines for a 6- or 13-week small group study
• Four worship service outlines for optional integration with a church-wide study
• DVD videos of teaching on each issue covered in the book
• Art for promoting How To Act Like A Christian small groups
