Leading Life-Changing Small Groups (3rd edition)

Learn How to Lead Your Small Group

Updated And Expanded

Like nothing else, small groups have the power to change lives, and this updated and expanded third edition of the bestselling Leading Life-Changing Small Groups handbook helps small group leaders learn the basics of leading a successful small group.

Regardless of whether a person is leading for the first time or has been for years, this resource will help a small group leader more effectively facilitate group discussion, encouraging and supporting their groups in a way that leads to authentic and lasting life change.

The unique ready-reference format highlights the requirements and responsibilities of a small group leader, gives helpful insight into the process of group formation, and answers practical questions about meeting preparation and how to encourage group participation. It includes a model for discipleship within a small group and suggestions for dealing with some of the common roadblocks and struggles that most groups encounter.

This workbook may be used as a stand-alone resource. However, your training experience will be greatly enhanced when the book is partnered with the eight-session training videos taught by author Bill Donahue, available on the Equipping Life-Changing Small Groups DVD (sold separately). Videos include teaching, role plays, and stories for equipping and training small group leaders.

For those who want to lead small groups with excellence and truly witness life change in their small groups, this go-to guide offers practical answers and inspiring examples. You'll find both challenge and promise as you learn to carry forth your God-given calling with confidence.
