It's a good book for anyone who wants to be seeing a transformation of his/her own church.

Great!

Boren writes a great guide for anyone exploring, developing, or leading a small/cell group ministry. I enjoyed the navigating the sea metaphor as Boren laid out a plan that will help a leader or anyone along for the ride.

Best Overall Book On Cells

In my humble opinion, this is the best overall book on cells that I have come across. Having lived without these types of resources in the early years of my church, what a gift this book is to the the Body of Christ! It is great in presenting an overall framework for understanding cell ministry coupled with a framework to facilitate change and a systematic process through the journey. Whereas before, I would recommend one book for understanding community, another book for grasping how cells work, another for walking through change, and yet another for developing a systems approach. Now I can just say, "Pick up 'Making Cell Groups Work.'"

This is the book I wish I had way back when...

Years ago, I read a book called "Where do we go from Here?" by an author named Ralph Neighbour. It gave me a burning desire to return to New Testament life, but it didn't tell me how to take a traditional church into cell-based ministry. This book, published ten years after Neighbour's book, really does explain an 8-stage process that works. If your church desires to move into cell ministry, you gotta read this book. When I last spoke with the publisher (TOUCH Outreach...) I was told a Navigation Guide is now available (kind of a reference tool for this book). This is a good read, no matter what kind of cell groups you want to start.
