What is believed to be the first small group curriculum kit for churches based on a modern Christian novel is being prepared for a September release by LifeWay Church Resources in association with B&H Publishing Group.

The teaching DVD and expanded study guide will explore themes from Rooms, James L. Rubart’s best-selling debut novel about a man whose coastal Oregon house is revealed to be a physical manifestation of his soul.

“This will be a tool for churches to reach out to their members in a new way,” said Brian Daniel, LifeWay’s small group curriculum director. “It gives the small group leader an opportunity to use story to convey messages and themes found in Scripture.”

B&H fiction marketing manager Julie Gwinn said: “Jesus taught using parables; stories are certainly an effective way to stimulate thinking about important issues of life and faith. We’ve definitely seen that happening with Rooms, so we’re very excited to bring this story to the church.”
