TNP Book Review

It's time for another Thomas Nelson Publisher's book review... This week, I had the chance to review one of the books in Christianity Today's Study Series (small group material). I reviewed their "Faith & Pop Culture" small group curriculum. This small group curriculum caught my eye, as it seemed like it would be very relevant material for 20-30somethings. I was very pleased with the material.

The book has eight sessions in it (meant to be done in an eight week setting), each covering a different topic in "pop culture". The sessions cover everything from movies, to TV, to sports, to literature. Each week has an article that was previously published in Christianity Today (or one of it's sister publications) that relates to the topic for the week. The articles are meant to be discussion starters and may result in various reactions from different members of the small group. Each session also includes ideas for ice breakers, discussion questions, corresponding Scripture studies, and applications based on the topic(s) discussed that week.

I found the material to be very well put together and very thought provoking. My husband picked up the book, and he too found the material to be intriguing. I can't wait to do this study with a small group in the very near future!
