About this title

Synopsis:

"Imagine a day," write Liz West and Paul Hopkins, "when Christian young people are secure enough in their own beliefs to be able to be amongst their generation and not be influenced to join in. Imagine them influencing their friends towards a different lifestyle." It is possible. Peer-led cell groups, where young people can be honest, and can give and receive encouragement and challenge, can foster a hunger for God and instil confidence in prayer. Young people themselves can set the agendas, prepare the material, give the talks, lead the discussions. They make mistakes, but they learn. This requires a shift in thinking, from the institution to the cell. The ideas of the cell church movement are becoming widely known. This specific application is a logical further step. This book explains the pitfalls and the potential.
