Life on the Line by Al Gibson

Real-life practices that will transform your groups..

Today more than ever, small groups are vital to church growth. With its primary focus on the relational aspect of groups, this book effectively confronts what causes people to drop out of small groups. And it brings to life what people are yearning for, what keeps them coming back, and what inspires them to enroll others. It is virtually a comprehensive practicum in creating small groups where authentic community naturally evolves.

The core prerequisite for authentic group life is building relationships upon one central, life-giving organizing principle: Everyone belongs, everyone matters, everyone is a contribution. This book details how honoring these values influenced the development of practices for three different types of small groups. The value-based practices which cultivate genuine community are reproducible and transferable to any existing or new small group, from bible study groups to conventional task groups and church committees. Use this book as a trailblazer toward transforming any group into a small community where spiritual and relational growth flourishes.
