All it takes is a few minutes to take a short step forward.

This clever little booklet follows the success of the original Short Steps for Long Gains, with Bible studies that the whole family can discuss. Written by Simon and Kathy Manchester, it has 26 short Bible studies (starting with A for Assurance and finishing with Z for zeal), with a quote from a Bible verse, and seven questions to spark discussion. It's the kind of thing you could do once a week over a meal, as well as being eminently suited for youth ministry and Sunday school.

Designed for 7-14 year olds, each study is brief, and by no means covers everything you could say on the topic. But sometimes, short steps, even for little feet, are the best way to make long gains.
