Encouraging Joy & Grace

Book Giveaway:  Ask It by Andy Stanley

3/24/2017

My husband and I lead a small group in our house.  Small group is one of the terms that churchs use to describe a group of people who get together routinely to study the bible and generally support each other through life.  Our particular group has been together for over ten years.  Some of the members have come and gone as happens and our group has grown too big and split off daughter groups twice.  I love small group.  I think the secret to success is involved with a few basic tips.

             Show up consistently
             Feed people
             Don’t trash talk anyone
             Keep Secrets
             Pray
             Laugh
             Read good curriculum
             Be brave enough to tell the truth

One of my favorite small group go-to-authors is Andy Stanley.  Andy is pastor of mega-church North Point Community Church in Nashville, TN.  He says that people worship in rows but grow in circles.  Small groups are circles.  He’s funny and engaging and thought provoking.  Andy has the way of saying difficult things with compassion.  He calls people to honest questions and thinking through how faith intersects with life.  My favorite study was called The Best Question Ever.   He’s come out with a new book version of this study in an updated format called “Ask It” The question that will revolutionize how you make decisions.

Here are my favorite quotations from the book.     
“One of the primary reasons we don't seek counsel from the wise people around us is that we already know what we are going to hear--and we just don't want to hear it.”  

"None of us plan --or intend--to get into trouble. The problem is, we don't plan not to."

"Our greatest moral regrets are always preceded by a series of unwise choices."
This study has stuck with me.  If you struggle with how to move forward in your life you need to read this book.  Andy Stanley and his team at North Point gave me a copy to give out to a reader. I’m drawing a winner from the Quirk-Email list tomorrow morning. If you haven’t joined yet and want a shot at the book enter here.
