Small groups are a way for people to gather together for Bible study and fellowship. They also serve as a vehicle for spiritual growth, friendship, community and accountability. D and I have been part of a small group for over ten years now, and we have experienced the benefits as a family. Leading Small Groups, by Chris Surratt shows the reader “How to gather, launch, lead, and multiply your small group”.
Surratt and his wife have had a lot of experience leading small groups, so he has seen what works and what does not work over the years. He provides a step-by-step framework that is practical and “do-able”. This book reminded me that small groups are not supposed to be an exclusive, insular club, but outreach groups that aim to serve others and the community. I think this book would be helpful for first time small leaders as well as those with experience.
