Biblical Foundations For Small Group Ministry
by Gareth Weldon Icenogle

Gareth Icenogle thoroughly examines both Old and New Testaments for the basis of small group ministry. He considers the texts in new ways, providing heightened understanding of their implications for ministry in the context of small groups. Then he turns to the early church to study tradition and practice. In addition, he brings an integration of theological, sociological and educational principles to the biblical text.

All through this add-on resource, practical applications of these principles offer guidance for setting up and running a biblically based small group ministry program. Those who are working or who hope to work with small groups will find this one-of-a-kind book invaluable.

Transforming Bible Study
by Bob Grahmann

It's no secret… studying God's Word transforms lives. It knits together believers and revitalizes their relationships.

Studying the Bible can also be dry, dull and seem to have little connection with your daily life. Fruitful Bible study is much more than a chain of platitudes in which people never say what they think or address the real questions they have about faith and life. Further, some approaches to Bible study require stacks of reference books, cross-referencing and three versions of the Bible. Other approaches ask you to fill in blanks like an elementary school child.

Bob Grahmann presents a Bible study method that will bring Scripture to life in your personal study and in your group studies. He is a national and international Bible study teacher, expert at unfolding the long-appreciated method of inductive Bible study, which has been updated to meet the needs of today's generation.

With both biblical expertise and cultural awareness he lays out the method clearly. With exercises to put the method into practice, this is a book that will benefit you individually as well as in your next group Bible study.

Transforming Bible Study is all about making you and your small group grow in your 2 Timothy 2:15 ability to correctly handle God's Word of truth!
