There are so many resources out there to go through it can sometimes be overwhelming. Plus we want to be good stewards of the resources God has given us, so let us help you do that! As a subscriber you will be able to view a new resource review that we add to one of the three sections listed every week. Hopefully these reviews help you determine if that book, study, or ministry tool is a wise purchase.

Check out this Children's Ministry curriculum called 252 Basics. It provides relevant materials for a children's small group setting. Here's some information about their approach.
"It is built around three Basic Truths every child should embrace according to what Jesus modeled in Luke 2:52.
1. I can trust God no matter what.
2. I need to make a wise choice.
3. I should treat others the way I want to be treated.
Each Basic Truth is amplified by a weekly key concept and systematically taught over a three-year track. The curriculum includes 150 Bible stories and is based on a Core Virtue and Memory Verse as the framework for each month."
Take a look at samples and pricing on their site.
If your church uses this curriculum, feel free to leave some comments about it.

 Leading Life Changing Small Groups, by Bill Donahue, is a great reference tool for the experienced leader or an excellent start up manual for the brand new group leader. It really does not matter what phase of small group life you happen to be in. What we do as small group leaders is all about helping people initiate life change and I wouldn't want it any other way.

 You may or may not be familiar with the Church Communication Network but over the last couple of years they have really improved what they have to offer. No longer do you have to train your volunteers at an expensive off site conference, you can have the best Christian speakers and experienced ministry professionals right in your own church.
