Summary
Details

Within the divine plan for humanity, which is the Kingdom of God, everybody who calls on the name of Jesus has a place. Everyone has a part, a responsibility, an importance in His Kingdom waiting for them to discover and walk out. This truth, when engaged and followed, brings purpose and value to you. It gives precise definition to who you are according to the Lord and King of it all. It is powerful and will become your lifeblood. All this happens in a healthy small group in someone's living room that never could and never does happen on a Sunday morning.

I am writing this book for two reasons. One has to do with the burden to disciple those who know Jesus to the deepest level possible, and help them give that away to others - so that they too may get the message of Jesus, and live it out. The other reason is to help leaders, at any level, to make the shift, the transition to the New Testament pattern of ministry, which is clearly small group ministry.

This book is about small groups, about effective and life-giving leadership and ministry in that context. But it is also about helping good people who are stuck in a system they did not create. They just got stuck in it somewhere along the way. And now they don't know what or where they are, and most of all, who they are. I get it because I've been through it. I thought it was the right way. I was taught it was the right way.

There are answers, from Scripture, from the Teacher. Yet the problem seems to continue to worsen. Let's change that. Let's learn to get much closer to the Creator and align with him as he changes that.
