SMALL GROUPS: The Process of Change
by William C. Coughlan, Jr.
2007; 167 pages; 8.5" x 5.5"; paperback; ISBN: 0-74144-189-6
Organizing a group is not a simple process. The person facilitating
the attempt must keep in mind the feelings and ideas of everyone
involved. The author does an excellent job of showing how this
can be done while making sure that goals are met. A wealth of real-life
examples that make the lessons more concrete, along with clear
guidelines that
will help achieve the desired outcome, are to be found here. Established
communities and forming community groups will find this an excellent
resource. This book is a road map for organizing any type of small
group. It covers the many paradigms and processes doing so in a thorough
and engaging way. Highly recommended.
