Most churches that begin small groups find that within a couple of years two things happen - the number of small groups has dwindled in size and few if any of them have birthed other small groups. So, the only way most churches keep small groups going is by reinventing them over and over, usually with the same people. The authors of this book know God has much more in store for these churches.
Bill Easum and John Atkinson have both led congregations in which small group ministry proved crucial to the church's growth. Both know the pitfalls that endanger all attempts to center a congregation's life around small groups. More importantly, they understand how to make small groups growing, self-reproducing centers of Christian discipleship.

I just finished reading this book and am so anxious to put some of the principles into practice. I have read many books on small group life, but this one is by far one that spoke to me in easy to understand language. The points made about the importance of creating a culture of multiplication and then the instructions illustrating how to do this are very helpful. I am anxious to implement a small group management system as laid out in chapter three which will help to keep us organized and structured. We currently have an active small group ministry that just needs a bit of new life and tweaking. The information in this book will help me to do that. If you are starting from scratch or improving on an existing program, this book could be helpful for you and your team.
