LifeandLeadership.com Summary
Outflow operates from the same premise as the other Sjogren resources, with the emphasis here on the “overflow” of a life that is filled to the brim with God’s love. The authors present a four- stage development process of moving outward toward God, toward family and friends, toward your community, and toward your world. There are 25 readings to support a five week course, each week with “labs,” practical activities to live an outward focus in each of the four areas. An extensive set of curriculum resources are available with this book, including:
- Outflow Small Group Ministry Leader Kit, Group Publishing, 2007.
- Outflow Pastors’s Kit, Group Publishing, 2007.
- Outflow Youth Ministry Leaders Kit, Group Publishing, 2007.
- Outflow Youth Journal, Group Publishing, 2008.
- Outflow Children’s Ministry Leaders Kit, Group Publishing, 2007.
