Summary

The word intimacy can make any small group a little uncomfortable. In I’d Like You More if You Were More like Me, John Ortberg shows readers that true closeness with others can start with the most mundane, everyday moments of connection and explains why intimacy is not something to fear but something to work toward.
 
With space to jot down reminders, observations, and prayers, this six-session leader connect guide equips the reader to lead a small group through Ortberg’s book and the accompanying DVD. It also encourages leaders with motivating quotes, easy-to-lead discussion questions, and simple exercises to guide a group past awkwardness and on to meaningful relationships.
