Three Simple Rules for Christian Living
by Jeanne Torrence Finley and Rueben P. Job
This small-group study by Jeanne Torrence Finley is based on Rueben P. Job's book
Three Simple Rules: A Wesleyan Way of Living. Six sessions provide extended reflection for adults on three principles
of Christian life: do no harm, do good, and stay in love with God. Each rule has a session to help you understand the rule and a session to help you explore ways to practice the rule.
Your church can do a church-wide study of the three simple rules by using the youth resource,
Three Simple Rules 24/7, and the children’s resource,
Three Simple Rules for Following Jesus, along with this book. A leader guide and DVD for adult study groups are available.
Parents who would like to discuss the three simple rules with their children can download a free list of suggested questions at Cokesbury.com (click below).
