As much as I like other books by Bill Hybels and Lee Strobel, it was me who suggested that my husband lead this study next for our group. I have to say this one was not our style. We bought these books to lead a small group study with some friends from church and I ended up being disappointed, along with many others in the group. The study structure is okay, some talk, some videos, some more talk, and it's done. OR, it can be done as more of a seminar style. The problem with this set up is that our small group was actually a very large group for this study and we had planned to watch the video and break up into smaller groups to discuss, however, the way this is set up is not conducive to the way our group was to be structured. We got past that and made adjustments to make it work for our group. Everyone was looking forward to this study, knowing the authors previous books, etc. Much to our surprise, the content wasn't something that we were really pleased with leading. Although the idea is to be prepared to share our faith, and that's why we wanted to do this study, to be prepared, it was offensive to myself and several others in the group as it was more pushy than we feel is appropriate in many cases and could mislead folks to push too hard too fast and push the other person in the other direction; away from God instead of to Him. There are situations where the push is needed but in most cases, it would push the person away and we just need to lead by example, be there, and let God lead. The book seems to be just a bit too pushy for our group and several people dropped out because of this.
