Attractive, slim A5 booklets. Nicely set out and accessible.
Aims clearly described in leader's notes, with relevant backup information.
All material in the one booklet, with the leader's notes at the back. Helpful further reading suggestions. Good background material for ‘answers' and contributions to the discussions. Supportive and realistic style. Icons in main material and clear layout, with similar format throughout. No timings.
Any leader with a bit of experience.
See above. Spaces for writing responses in, whether in group setting or using individually. Plenty of input for individual use.
N/A, though use of music recommended for opening worship slots where suggested.
Shouldn't take too long, but the leader's notes at the back need to be related to the main session material each time and decisions made about how much of input material to be used. Really good range of thought-provoking information. Music if you are using it, plus occasional props.
CWR website shows the inside of some of the booklets.
New and updated titles still being produced.
Worship, prayers, innovative icebreakers, imaginative discussion questions.
Discussion and engagement with biblical text after opening worship or icebreaker activity. Not interactive in other ways.
Suitable for many Christians as it is. More or less of the input material could be used as appropriate. Activities could be added, but this would take more preparation.
Honesty and application directly encouraged, though different authors do this in a variety of ways, some more than others.
80%. Apart from opening items, whole study revolves around the biblical material.
See above. Really good engagement, both providing background and provoking reactions.
Grounded in reality.
CWR is evangelical by conviction, but these studies are carefully crafted and accessible to many.
The vast range of titles covers a multitude of topics and biblical material.
All the material is designed to help people relate biblical material to their understanding of God and their relationship with him.
Members are encouraged to engage thoroughly with what the biblical text says, and neither settle for platitudes nor avoid difficult challenges.
‘Personal application' section always included. Many icebreakers focus on real-life situations. Very practical.
Where relevant to the topic chosen, it's there, in the same spirit of real and honest engagement.
