‘Too many people end up with roller-coaster experiences of faith because the basic disciplines of their Christian lives are shallow or even non-existent. Building directly on from the Nurture course, the Growth material helps new Christians lay firm foundations and maturer Christians take a fresh look at familiar topics.’

Felicity Lawson, Emmaus author

Getting beyond the basics

Courses to help people discover more about the Christian life have been immensely successful. But once you've run a group like this, what do you do next? Perhaps it's time to investigate one of the Emmaus Growth courses. The Growth material follows on from enquirers' groups, Alpha or Emmaus nurture courses, providing both new and established Christians with an opportunity to dig deeper into the Christian way of life.

Who would benefit from the materials?

The Emmaus Growth books are ideal follow-on material for use after:

• an enquirers' group;
• an Emmaus Nurture or Alpha group;
• a new Christians' group;
• a confirmation class.

The material is also suitable for use by an established cell or house group.

What can I expect in each session?

Each session includes Bible study, input and discussion, group exercises, meditations, ways to put faith into practice, and prayers. Each book includes detailed leader's notes and member handouts. The materials provide ample information for lay and clergy leaders alike to help group members to develop their personal faith and identity within a Christian community.

What is on the CD-ROM included with the book?

• Handouts and supplementary handouts for all sessions provided as PDF files;
• Microsoft® PowerPoint presentations;
• Links to useful web sites;
• Emmaus resources catalogue.

Sounds good. What Growth courses are available?
