Pride, gluttony, envy, greed, anger, sloth, lust—it‘s not enough to say “no“ to sin

How does this participant's workbook help you?

• The Communal Test will help you discover the secret to your spiritual power.
• Energy transformation will help you to utilise the energies behind the Seven Deadly Sins.
• You will discover how to build small groups that reflect the kingdom of God.

"When thinking about contributing to explosive church growth by means of a contemporary small group, probably the last thing that comes to mind is heaven and hell. “You’ve got to be kidding, Chris- tian,” a church consultant remarked when I shared my insights with him. “These are the very topics we take great care to avoid.”
“I know,” I replied. “And I am convinced that points directly to the root of the problem. We have avoided dealing with the most relevant topics—maybe because we had a fuzzy understanding of them—and have been so proud of entertaining people with a wealth of peripheral aspects of Christianity.”

The primary intention of this book is not to present techniques for running a small group. Rather, it is to lay before you that which makes up the core of Christian community. And to present it in a way that demonstrates what Christianity can, and indeed, should be—no less than a glimpse of heaven."
