One of the foundational books on what it means to lead a small group. It simply means being a shepherd! Ralph Neighbour shows why and, more importantly, how!
A couple of my all-time favorite quotes:
"The people in your Cell [group] are the agenda!"
"The extent of a person's spiritual maturity is the extent of the commitment he or she has to Kingdom activity."
"The Shepherd never says, 'I will tend the flock on Wednesday evenings from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m.' No! The Shepherd lives with the flock, sleeps in the fields with the flock, goes into treacherous situations to find a lost sheep, and carries the lambs in his arms. The Shepherd is the first one to go into the 'valley of the shadow of death' to lead sheep to 'green pastures.'"

September 25, 2010When I was asked to lead a lifegroup, our church's small group for college aged people, part of the training was to read this book.
