Gerard and I both read Better Together by Rick Warren. Our church used it in all the classes as a churchwide curriculum for 40 days. There is a DVD that goes with it for small group leaders to use along with the workbook and there is a Devotional and Journal too. The whole emphasis is to serve others as a group. Gerard dropped out of the class and was not at all interested in the material. I found that the devotionals were a review of what we saw on the DVD. I think the devotional and journal book is all you need. It was somewhat thought provoking and certainly teaches Biblical principles.
As a result of our church going through this, my small group put together 28 shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child. You can go to Parma Heights Baptist Church website to read about more projects other groups did.
I would recommend this material for small group Bible Studies.
I must say, I liked it much better than his first book, The Purpose Driven Life. (Perhaps new believers or seekers would enjoy it more than mature Christians.)
Have you read this one? What did you think of it?
