Synopsis

The typical local church has six to ten groups that meet on a weekly basis and include some form of teaching. These groups could include Sunday school for adults and children, various children's activities, youth meetings, or other adult small groups. Most of these are taught by ordinary believers who don't really think of themselves as teachers. Yet these believers do most of the teaching in the church. The point of this book is to help these believers realize that they are teachers and take that role as a gift from God. The book then leads them though the process of working out what being a teacher means in their personal context.
