Growth Groups: A Training Course in How to Lead Small Groups

"Every church should be an equipping centre. Every congregation needs to be continually training and developing Christians for ministry. Colin Marshall has provided us with this superb training manual. I regard it as on of the best amongst a proliferation of such materials. Col's expertise in this area is outstanding. I would love to see every church utilise this manual for the training of its leaders."

"One of God's kind acts to me was to introduce me to the life and ministry of Colin Marshall. For almost thirty years, Col's wise counsel, godly example, original thinking and persistent pursuit of biblical, faithful, gospel-centered goals have been a major enrichment to me personally and to our church. This book will bring to a wider audience the wisdom of this great servant of Jesus. I pray that those who read his words will gain something of the benefits that those of us who know him personally experience."

"So you loved The Trellis and the Vine, and you want to flow those principles into your small groups? The key is people (surprise, surprise). You need to work closely with your leaders (and prospective leaders), and train them in vine work’. The best framework I know of for doing this is Growth Groups, a small group leadership course by my good friend (and co-author) Colin Marshall. It is simply superb."
