eciding
what to study in your A-team can be a daunting task. There is so much available
in the marketplace! To give you a starting point, we have put together a list
of options.
Stuff to Study Together is a list of resources
arranged by topic. We asked current Crossroads A-team leaders to suggest
studies that inspired growth and brought positive life-change within their
A-teams. That’s how this list was comprised.
This
is by no means an exhaustive list of what you can use, but it’s a great way to
narrow down a topic. We do not have an official “what you are allowed to study
list” at Crossroads. We don’t even have an “officially recommended” list. This
is just a collection of resources that other teams have found worthwhile.
Use
this as a catalyst and get feedback from the members of your team. Also feel
free to just browse your local bookstore.
Many teams have found great resources simply by plugging in key words on
a web bookstore’s search engine. A few sites you might want to investigate are
Amazon (www.amazon.com), Christian Book Distributors (www.christianbook.com),
Family Christian Books (www.familychristian.com)
and Relevant Books (www.relevantbooks.com).
Finally,
this list is a growing and expanding resource. If you and your team hit upon a
study or resource that you really enjoy, please let us know. We want to
incorporate your suggestions into this list so that others can grow from your
experience. Email your suggestions to cbryant@crossroadscommunity.net.
