BioPassionate about reaching people for Christ, Garry and his team have trained thousands of leaders to launch seeker small groups in their own settings. His award-winning book, Seeker Small Groups, provides a detailed blueprint for facilitating small group discussions that assist spiritual seekers with investigating Christianity. He also wrote The Complete Book of Questions, a collection of 1001 conversation starters and The Three Habits of Highly Contagious Christians; a small group discussion guide to equip believers in effectively sharing their faith. Garry is the primary author of Tough Questions, a best-selling series of seven study guides along with one leader’s guide designed to get small groups discussing answers to major objections to the Christian faith. He authored (with Lee Strobel) Experiencing the Passion of Jesus to accompany Mel Gibson’s film, The Passion of the Christ. In 2005, it became the first discussion guide ever to receive the prestigious Charles “Kip” Jordon Christian Book of the Year award. Garry lives in suburban Chicago and consults on seeker small groups at churches around the world. what others are saying:"Garry Poole has captured everything you need to know to implement one of the most powerful and effective tools in evangelism. He offers a groundbreaking, step-by-step approach anyone can use. And it couldn’t come at a better time – this ingenious strategy is perfect for reaching today’s seekers. I encourage Christians everywhere to study these principles – and then put them into action!" - Lee Strobel, "The Case for Christ" and "The Case for Faith" "For more than ten years we have seen Garry use his gifts, experience and passion to pioneer and refine an approach that has revolutionized the way we do evangelism through small groups. I ’m convinced that this simple, biblical strategy of building small groups for spiritual seekers is one of the greatest evangelistic discoveries at Willow Creek in the last decade – and he holds the blueprint for that revolution." - Bill Hybels, Senior Pastor at Willow Creek Community Church "When it comes to seeker small groups, Garry Poole has a level of passion and a breadth of experience that I think are simply unequaled. You will be so inspired by what you learn, that people in your life who right now do not know Jesus Christ will one day become his followers, his servants and his friends." - John Ortberg, "The Life You’ve Always Wanted" "One of the most effective means for reaching out to spiritual seekers is through small groups where there is love, trust, safety, sincerity and acceptance. Garry offers an outstanding blueprint on how to build bridges to others so that they can experience God’s bridge to them. This is a must read for serious-minded Christians." - Luis Palau, International Evangelist "Garry Poole’s compassion for souls is contagious. He presents with great enthusiasm a simple and effective way to share the beautiful truth of Jesus Christ with neighbors, colleagues and friends." - Chuck Colson, Founder and President, Prison Fellowship "Garry Poole passes on the practical wisdom he has gained from more than 25 years of experience leading small groups in an evangelistic setting. I learned a great deal from him and recommend him to others interested in this exciting ministry." - Nicky Gumbel, Founder and Director, The Alpha Course
