4.5 stars. This pulls in relevant research in adult education, learning styles, group dynamics, and company management — alongside the Bible itself —to provide useful tools on the practical day-to-day of leading a bible study group, managing people and groups and caring for and loving people. Very applied and pragmatic.
I was recommended this book for tips and techniques on leading our Bible study group well. It’s really practical, but grounded in a lot of psychology and counselling theory that I’ve heard of but not thought too much about.
Lots of food for thought, and so many ways I can improve my people skills!
