This is the book for anyone who wants an introduction to small group ministry. I have read several books on the subject and most would be over the heads of a lot of the folks we will be using as home group leaders. It gives Bible basis for small group ministry that anyone should be able to grasp. That's why I would recommend this to anyone who needs to be introduced to the "why" of small groups" and for a text to teach others from. It also explains the benefits of small groups to churches in a way that is enlightening as well. It is a book that can easily be tailored to most small group situations. It has helped this pastor greatly.
a balanced and flexible approach

Over the course of the past two weeks, i have read almost every book on Small Groups and have found many of them to offer inflexible and extra-biblical definitions of the Small Group (e.g. "You cannot grow as a Christian unless you're in a Small Group"). Jeffrey Arnold offers a more balanced and thoughtful approach.
