Billy Elliot

Part of a series of innovative home group Bible studies, the material in this book is aimed at encouraging Bible study within the context of exploring topical issues in a Biblical way. All the studies in the series are based on popular books or films. The studies are designed to be creative and thought-provoking. Each section has a range of questions or options from which the leader can tailor the study to suit the group. Some of the themes explored in the Billy Elliot study are: Masculinity - what's the best thing about men? Can you be a real man and a ballet dancer? How can fathers give advice appropriately and sensitively in today's society?; Divided loyalties - how do we balance loyalty to ourselves, to others and to God? How should we care for our families, especially those who are dependent, in a way that respects their dignity?; Social position - do we live in a classless society? Have you been discriminated against? What's the significance of Jesus coming from a rural backwater?; Creativity - how is God creative in communicating with us? How could you be more creative in worshipping God?
