ABOUT THE BOOK
It’s Personal is for small group leaders of children and students. A practical guide for a personal (and more effective and fulfilling) approach to discipling children and teenagers, it develops and illustrates one of the best practices from companion volume Lead Small: “Make It Personal.”
Consider giving this short read to all your small group leaders, rookie or veteran, as a part of your training during the summer and fall. Use it to get everyone in your age-group ministries (staff and volunteer, preschool through high school) on the same page. Now in hardback.
