Donahue, Bill Walking the Small Group Tightropes: Managing the Tensions Every Small Group Faces
Zondervan 2003 0-310-25229-6 / 9780310252290 Paperback
ABOUT THE BOOK Walking the Small Group Tightropes: Managing the Tensions Every Small Group Faces FROM THE PUBLISHER A time-tested resource for pastors and small group leaders to help them understand how to manage the tensions that result when a variety of good objectives compete for a group's attention Foundational resources such as Building a Church of Small Groups and The Seven Deadly Sins of Small Group Ministry were written for those who launch and lead small group ministries. Now there is a proven resource from Willow Creek created specifically for small group leaders who serve in the trenches of small group life. Walking the Small Group Tightrope applies "polarity management" training to group life. Polarity management teaches that in every area of life we must learn to manage the tension that exists between two good things rather than choosing one over the other. There are six challenges or "tensions" every small group leader faces and must learn to manage well. Each challenge must be met by managing two good values that exist along a continuum: • Learning Challenge: Truth--Life Continuum • Relational Challenge: Friendship--Accountability Continuum • Development Challenge: Care--Discipleship Continuum • Reconciliation Challenge: Kindness--Confrontation Continuum • Impact Challenge: Task--People Continuum • Connection Challenge: Openness--Intimacy Continuum Author Biography: Bill Donahue serves as vice president of Small Group Ministries for the Willow Creek Association. He is the primary author of Leading Life-Changing Small Groups, coauthor (with Russ Robinson) of Building a Church of Small Groups, and has edited or contributed to many Willow Creek small group Bible study guides.
