It offers excellent guidance on getting groups started and keeping them going, and deciding what to study in the Bible and how to study it. (The chapter "How to Study the Bible" is beneficial for personal use as well.) It instructs the reader on how to prepare a study and lead out, making it actually seem easy.

The authors recommend using study guides available on the market, but they also provide information for writing individualized study questions. A sample study is included in the appendix. There are questions to evaluate leadership and group participation, as well as suggestions for outreach projects and fellowship activities.
