Here's What I'm Reading...
Books Referenced in Why Didn't You Warn Me?
THE FCC REQUIRES THAT I TELL YOU: Some of the books I review here have been received from authors, publishers, or publicists. I receive more books than I can possibly read, and I only review books I've read, so receipt of a book is not guarantee or a review -- or of a positive review. I will generally only review books I believe my readers will enjoy or benefit from. If you're going to purchase a book and would like to help support this ministry, click on the book images and order through my Amazon Affiliate link. Thanks.

Open or Closed?
December 23, 2008 | Comments Off
Spence Shelton at Small Groups Guy asks whether his church should allow closed groups. I always wonder why a church must have a “one size fits all” policy. Why do we have to have open or closed groups? Why not some of each? Last December I did a four-part series on four different types of groups. I believe that churches of any size ought to consider all four types if they truly want to meet the needs of their people. If this is a question your church is considering, I encourage you to read all four parts.
