GROW IN GRACE AND KNOWLEDGE

• There’s no need for any reading in advance.  People often don’t get time to prepare or finish a book before coming along to book groups  so we find it works best if  everyone starts off in the same place at the same time.
• At the start, the Leader distributes the books and discussion questions to each of the members and perhaps gives a 5 minute introduction to the book or the author.
• Read through an excerpt together (or two or three excerpts, depending on the book). Then work through the questions provided for discussion. You can work through the book till you have finished or you might prefer to work through as many of the questions as you can in a set time peroiod, then complete the rest at home on your own.

• Anywhere that’s convenient.
• Somewhere relaxed is good as long as it’s relatively quiet, such as someone’s home.
• Alternatively, find a suitable space at church.

Anyone!  We recommend trying to keep the groups to between 8 – 12 people maximum, so everyone can be involved.  Obviously, a large group doesn’t work quite so well for discussion.

Choose the time that best suits everyone, whether lunchtime or evening and also the most suitable day of the week.

We’ve put together a recommended reading list you can choose from with different levels. The books and questions are practical and focussed on applying the truth of the Bible to our lives and hearts.
