***From the back of the book "I was thrilled to see Bill Easum team up with John Atkinson to write a book on small groups. Most people know of Bill's contribution to the local church and how invaluable it has been; he and John, who is emerging as one of the top ten small group pastors of our time, make an awesome team. Every principle and idea that I have applied from John has either strengthened or grown my current ministry. Go BIG with Small Groups is an accumulation of years of success from two men who have experienced tremendous growth in their own ministries. What you find in this book can help any small group, whether it is an idea on a napkin, turning a floundering ministry to the next level. This is a must read for any small group leader." --Phill Longmire, small group pastor, Skyline San Diego
