Following the ideas of John Ortberg's book, I'd Like You More if You Were More like Me, this six-week study includes biblical insights, group questions, personal journaling prompts, and at-home activity ideas. Small-group members will learn how to connect on a deeper level with the people God has placed in their lives, both inside and outside the group, as they grow closer to the One who made them for relationships.
This is more than a small-group study. It is an invitation to develop the kinds of relationships that change lives-starting with the smallest daily interactions.
Part discussion guide and part workbook, this creative resource offers small-group members opportunities to grow closer to one another and to God.
