Title: A book of lists
Product review: This is the sixth book I have read on the topic of small groups, and thus far it is my least favorite. Perhaps it is a matter of preferred style, but I could never get into this book. The author seems to do nothing but make a series of lists throughout the entire book. The reader is never introduced to the main thought of a passage followed by logical support of that thought. I personally felt I was reading a set of cliff notes on small groups.Once one advances beyond the writing style, the book does have a good amount of useful information. A busy small-group lay leader, who simply wants a checklist of things to consider, would probably find this book very helpful. However, the scholar who is looking to study small groups would find other books more useful. (for example Julie Gorman's book on Christian community or Icenogle's book on Biblical foundations for small groups)
