Simeon wanted - even needed - a vacation. But being kidnapped by a gang of thieves was certainly not part of his plan for that holiday. When this young man is brought into ancient Colossae as a captive and later rescued by a couple of men from the town itself, his desire for a time of leisure is replaced by a compulsion to learn all he can about the unique people of that town and surrounding community of biblical Asia. As we consider the implications of this Fictional character's interactions with the historical ones of this small community, we want to answer a question:"What do we learn about discipleship from the lives of those who lived in the small town of Colossae?"The book of Colossians is an interesting study of discipleship in the small group and rural community. Written to a small place that was nearly overlooked by the world, this little village occupied a most important position in the plan of God. This book is written to introduce the subject of small group discipleship by combining a novel with a Bible commentary to make for a pleasant learning experience.
