Short Christians by Liz Jennings
Study Guide for Small Groups: Short Christians contains twelve short stories that follow the lives of Christian characters through a particular moment in their faith journeys. Written to be engaging and thought-provoking.
Fiction can gives a fresh starting point for reflecting on life. Groups have used these stories to spark thinking, reflecting and sharing ideas with others to find fresh points of connection in a relaxed, enjoyable and stimulating way.
Each story is followed by ideas for discussion, encouragement to listen, points for prayer and space to write reflections. In addition at the end of the book are author notes, which reveal some intriguing insights into the characters.
