Hello Britany!

Chasing Vines is a powerful book! It’s so interesting to dig into the metaphor of the Vine!

That sounds lovely to form a Zoom book group during this time!

Here’s my opinion ~ Each person would want a copy of the book. You could all read the book and simply discuss it from each chapter.

The second option is for each of you to also grab a copy of the Chasing Vines Group Experience book. This book has questions and answer blanks to fill in. It also has Scripture reading assignments. You COULD order one copy and discuss from it in your group, but it’s also geared for each person to write and interact and learn from. The format is laid out for use as you watch the DVD sessions.

If you go to Christian Book Distributors website, they have pictures of the inside of it, so you may get a feel for what it is.

OR Christian Book Distributors has an exclusive edition of the book that contains a Dig Deeper section in the back. This section has a few paragraphs about each chapter followed by three questions. If everyone ordered these editions, you could use the Dig Deeper section as a springboard for your discussions.

Basically, it depends on your budget and the experience you’re looking for! The teaching sessions are also available on DVD.

I hope this helps and let me know if you have further questions. 🙂

I haven’t seen the Group Experience book myself or watched the sessions, though I would love to watch them at some point. Talking about grapevines and vineyards was very fascinating and applies so well to our abiding and thriving in Jesus!

I’d also love to hear what your group decides to do and what you think of the book!

I have had a hard time figuring out what materials I will need. I see there is a book, a video (you can purchase those through Vimeo) as well as a study guide.

What materials are you planning to have your participants purchase? I’m trying to figure out if there are discussion questions in the book or if you also need the study guide to go with it. I was hoping to ask them to buy as few things as possible. One more thought: would it be possible to just have them purchase the book and I get the guide and pull questions from that?

I hope all of this makes sense! I’ve been searching to no avail and desperate for some insight!

Thank you so much for your help!
Warmest regards,
Britany Krause
