How to Ask Better Small Group Questions [Weekend Resource]
Can you identify with the following prayer?
Dear God, so far today I’ve done all right. I haven’t gossiped or lost my temper. I haven’t cheated anyone out of money or stared at a beautiful woman with lust. I haven’t been grumpy or selfish, and I’m really glad of that. But in a few minutes, Lord, I’m going to get out of bed, and from then on, I’m going to need all the help I can get. Amen.
Those are the opening lines of Now That’s a Good Question! by Terry Powell.
Who doesn’t want to read a book that starts off like that?
The purpose of this book is to aid the small group leader in leading a discussion.
- What makes good question?
- How do you ask effective, discussion-stimulating questions?
- What is the difference between an interpretation and an application question?
In less than 100 easy-read pages, the book answers those questions, and many others [see table of contents].
You can download [for free] Chapter 1: Creating a Climate for Discussion.
The chapter is about…well, creating an effective discussion climate (like you needed me to tell you that). One of my favorite chapters in the book.
