A thorough and easy-to-use guide to all aspects of running a homegroup.

Whether you are a homegroup leader or a church leader involved with homegroup ministry, this is for you.


Homegroups: The Authentic Guide is a straightforward guide which provides you with practical tips and guidelines on setting up and improving your own homegroup ministry. Throughout the book there are amusing and interesting stories to help illuminate the principles of leadership. This deals with everything from the problems of an over-amorous dog during the prayer time to how to be an effective listener.

Steve and Mandy Briars have been homegroup leaders for over 25 years and lead the homegroup ministry in a large Baptist church in Aylesbury.

'Steve and Mandy's book is born out of experience and is comprehensive in covering every aspect of running a home group. Its style is gentle and confident which is the right spirit for such a task. I'm advising all my home group leaders to use it for training and re-envisioning for this vital ministry.'
