The Power of Small Groups in Christian Formation
Ebook
Overview
Small groups continue to be a significant part of church life and Christian formation in the twenty-first century, impacting a church and society characterized by loneliness and fragmentation. As such, Julie Gorman is prompted to declare, “Small groups have come of age! They have found unprecedented acceptance and endorsement.” This is a comprehensive book on small groups and Christian formation informed by theology, church history, and the social sciences. It addresses both the foundations and praxis of groups, with a special emphasis on leading dynamic group discussions.
“I found the book to be solid but accessible, theoretical yet
practical, biblical and real-world, focused with information
regarding topics you want to hear about, and expansive enough to
need an index for those topics. In other words, I intend to
recommend this book to student and leader alike. There is more than
enough support to understand, develop, and sustain small group
ministry within church and academic settings.”
—Gregory C. Carlson, Director of the Biblical, Religious, and
Philosophical Division, Trinity International University
