This summer, as we read and studied small group programs in the process of retooling and re-visioning our own small group ministry at IBC, this book was inspiring and encouraging. It clearly presents the strengths and benefit of uniting small groups together as sermon-based small groups. As a small group leader, you will find this book provides many good ideas and encouragement as we grow into our own sermon-based small group ministry. As a congregation member, this book can help you understand the benefits and goals of sermon-based small groups. If you’re in a small group, you’ll be encouraged, and if you are not in a group, I’m certain you’ll find yourself wanting to find a small group.  (Reviewed by Pastor Mike)

About one year ago, Bob Kauflin released his second book on worship. His first book, Worship Matters very practically addresses the worship leader and worship musicians. Bob leads Sovereign Grace Music a resource we find very useful for new songs. Some of our congregational favorites, such as In Christ Alone, Behold Our God, and All I Have is Christ have come from this resource. Bob is a “leader of leaders” and is looked to by many worship leaders and worship teams for guidance. In his newest book, True Worshippers addresses the worshipper. Of course, this includes worship leaders and worship musicians, but goes much further. We are all worshippers. Bob’s practical and Biblical teaching has been a great encouragement and challenge to me over the past several years. (Reviewed by Pastor Mike)
