No matter what need brings a group of people together—from marriage enrichment to divorce recovery, from grief recovery to spiritual formation—members are part of a small group because they want to grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book by psychologists Henry Cloud and John Townsend provides small-group leaders with valuable guidance and information on how they can help their groups to grow spiritually, emotionally, and relationally. With insights from their best-selling book \u003cem\u003eHow People Grow\u003c\/em\u003e, Cloud and Townsend show how God's plan for growth is made up of three key elements: grace plus truth plus time. When groups embrace those elements, they find God's grace and forgiveness and learn how to handle their imperfections without shame as they model God's love and support to one another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to describing what makes small groups work, \u003cem\u003eMaking Small Groups Work\u003c\/em\u003e explains the roles and responsibilities of both leaders and group members. Employing tenets from the book \u003cem\u003eHow People Grow\u003c\/em\u003e, this book equips leaders to understand the ins and outs of how to promote growth. Using principles from their best-selling book \u003cem\u003eBoundaries\u003c\/em\u003e, they show how to identify and find solutions for common problems such as boredom, noncompliance, passivity, aggression, narcissism, spiritualization, over-neediness, over-giving, and nonstop talking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arotahi Agency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47934114529516,"sku":"9780310250289","price":68.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780310250289-making-small-groups-work.jpg?v=1783898205","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/making-small-groups-work-by-john-townsend-9780310250289","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
