This book is about different approaches using the Bible, To make the small group effective will require interaction from all participants. Different approaches keep the Bible fresh.

A good introduction for people who are just starting small groups based around Bible study; not to helpful for old vets. I'd give it 4 stars (at least) for the former; 2 stars for the latter. ( )

Focusing on different methodological approaches to Bible study, Hestenes’ work provides numerous examples of group Bible studies: e.g. study-based methods, response methods, encounter, and action methods. Complimenting this material, Hestenes provides an introductory yet useful overview of small group principles such as community life, group leadership, and relationship building. C- ( )
