Group leaders' book Order this book

Many people think they are incapable of leading a group or setting up a marriage ministry. But there's no need to be intimidated. The advice in this Bible based book gives a step-by-step action plan to help you organize and lead Christ-centered studies---whether in a church class, home fellowship group or cell group.

This book shows how to set up and facilitate classes or small groups studying "Marriage by the Book," an eight-book series that helps couples learn and apply the Bible’s practical wisdom to create great marriages. When these books are studied, whether in churches or people’s homes, seemingly hopeless marriages are transformed, and already satisfying marriages are enriched and deepened. That shouldn't be surprising. When we do things the Lord’s way, it works. After all, God invented marriage.

In the Group Leaders' Guide for Marriage by the Book, you will discover:

     marriage ministry   How to set up a marriage ministry

     choose leaders   Things to look for when choosing leaders

     leadership skills   Key leadership skills

     lead group   How to lead a group step-by-step

     facilitate and teach   The difference between traditional teaching and facilitating

     control disruption   Tactics to cut off compulsive talkers

     respond to anger   How to deal with angry attacks

     promote involvement   Ways to get shy people involved

     practice tools   Techniques to encourage people to practice what they learn

     anticipate and prevent danger   Typical dangers facing small groups --- and how to avoid them

This book is interactive, with personal application questions to help you put its biblical advice into practice as you set up your ministry and then teach, lead or facilitate your group or class. It is comprehensive and detailed, yet easy to use and practical.

May the Lord bless you as you open the door for men and women to become the husbands and wives God intends them to be.
