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.

The leader guide includes Scripture and excerpts from Wesley's writings and Rueben P. Job's original book Three Simple Rules. The guide provides commentary and gives youth ministers and study leaders detailed plans for each of the six sessions, discussion questions, activities, and worship ideas.
