Which would you rather attend-a boring lecture or a lively small group discussion? How do you turn some quiet bump-on-a-logs into a lively small group discussion? Ever attended a group and the leader tried to create a lively small group discussion and it went badly? (How embarrassing for her and painful for us. Awkward.) If you believe discussion is the best way to lead a small group, this book is for you. In this practical book you will learn the skillful use of twelve types of questions that have groups talking. Hi, I am Josh Hunt, the author of Good Questions Have Groups Talking. I have written more small group lessons than any human, living or dead. I write four lessons a week and have done so for years. I have written literally thousands of lessons. In this book I will walk you through, step-by-step, how I write small group lessons that have groups talking. (My lessons are called Good Questions Have Groups Talking.) Here are some of the lessons we will cover: -Life exposure question. This question is about the student, not about the Bible. It gets everyone started talking and allows the small group to get to know one another. Example: state your name and where were you in the birth order of your family?-What does the text say? Ask these fast. They are not as interesting as the ones that follow. Still, you have to know what the text says before you can understand what it means.-What does the text mean? This is classic Bible study. We need to spend some time here, but not too much. -Jump-ball question. This is the heart of the discussion. Truth is often a mid-point between two extremes. Jesus said, "be careful not to do your acts of righteousness before men to be seen of them," and, "Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your father who is in heaven" Question: are we to do our acts of righteousness publically so people can see?-What are ten ways we could apply this to our lives? Application questions are different from commitment. These are things you could do, not things you necessarily will do. Example: what are ten ways a man could express love to his wife?-How will it benefit me if I do? What will it cost me if I don't? These twin questions are based on this truth, explored at some depth in the book: it is always in our best interest to live the Christian life. God is good. Following Him is good. God is a rewarder. We cannot come to him unless we believe that. You must come to love the Christian life or you will never come to live the Christian life. -Commitment question: what do you want to do about what you heard today? These are only half the questions discussed in the book. There are 12 types of questions in all that I explore.

God is unchanging, immovable, immutable, reliable, completely to be trusted. Following God is an unpredictable adventure, full of twists and turns and surprises. I never thought my life would turn out as it has. Did you? When I look at the lives of people who followed God, I find the same thing. I find unpredictable. I find frustration. I find dead-ends. I find delays. I find setbacks. I find joy. I find disappointment. I find sadness. I find laughter and I find tears. Following God is not at all like I thought it would be. When I study the lives of those who follow God, I find real life. This short book is a study of the life of Abraham. In about hundred short readings, we will explore the twists and turns of one who followed God and learn lessons along the way about what it means to follow God. Be sure of this: it won't be like you think. Formerly published under the title Following God.

The Bible promises that we can be radically changed by the gospel. Jesus offered a life that is abundant and full. Paul described the Fruit of the Spirit as a life marked by love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control. Sometimes it happens. Sometimes it doesn't. This book is about how God changes us. It breaks down in step-by step detail how we are transformed by the renewing of our mind; how we are changed into what we behold; how we are changed outwardly into what God has made us to be inwardly. If you long to lay hold of the John 10:10 abundant Christian life, this book is for you. If you are a pastor and long for your people to be transformed into the image of Christ, this book is for you.

When you follow God, you never know where you are going. It is not like driving with an old-fashioned Rand-McNally map book where you can lay it out and see the whole thing. You can turn to state maps and city maps to see more detail. Following God is like driving with a GPS on and all you get is the voice prompts. Sometimes, as was true with Abraham, you won't hear anything for a long time. If you have ever driven with a GPS, you will know how familiar this is. If you get on I-10 and drive across Texas, you will not hear anything for hours. Then, the voice will jar you out of your coma. Following God is like that. You rock along-day and night, month after month, year after year-then, "turn left, go there, do this, stop doing that." If you are addicted to certainty, you might not like following God very much. If you love detailed plans, following God might frustrate you. If you prefer the boring to the adventure of the unknown, then following God might not be your cup of tea.

What was the gospel that Jesus and the early disciples proclaimed it? It was not the answer to the question: what are the minimum requirements for going to Heaven when I die. It was all about the Kingdom of God. It was all about "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. It was about the idea that this world-your world-could be like Heaven. Not so much the external world-this is not the health and wealth gospel-as much as how you experience this world. The pinnacle of spiritual maturity is communicated in the words of James: "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds." James 1:2 (NIV2011) When you can count in pure joy in the midst of all kinds of trials, you are not far from the kingdom. The kingdom of God has come in your life. In the words of John Ortberg, up there has come down here. This 9-week small group Bible study will lead your group to enjoy this Kingdom life and communicate it to others.
