A Sneak Peek into Our Newest Expository Bible Study Guide

Studying the Bible can seem intimidating. It includes 66 books covering an extended timescale, full of unfamiliar names and places, and large sections can feel like alien territory. But each book is full of good news.

In Isaiah: Here Is Your God, the newest addition to the Good Book Guide collection, trusted Bible teacher Tim Chester takes you through the book of Isaiah in a digestible and accessible way. 

Read on for five elements that make Isaiah: Here Is Your God a useful resource for any Bible study, whether in groups or individually.

1. Each chapter includes a “talkabout” section that connects the text at hand with modern-day questions. This section helps get readers thinking about the theme of the text before diving in!

2. Each Good Book Guide includes a helpful timeline with maps to help orient readers to the time and place that the events took place in history. The timeline of the main character being discussed is inserted into the larger biblical timeline, making it easier to understand the narrative of the Bible as a whole in relation to each book.

3. In the “investigate” portions of each chapter, readers are encouraged to recall and discuss specific events in the Bible text. A helpful dictionary section with verse references is included!

4. Readers are urged to apply the lessons learned in the book to their own lives in the “getting personal” portion of each chapter. These questions are helpful for each reader to reflect on any changes that need to be made in his or her life.

5. The questions at the end of each chapter are perfect both for group discussions and individual reflection. They reflect on the text itself and encourage readers to view the text within the bigger picture of the Bible’s story.

Each Good Book Guide focuses on a key text, helping you to understand the shape of the book and see how its main themes work together, and includes application questions, ideas for prayer, and a full leader's guide. 

Accompanying expository guides are available for purchase to help you lead small groups.
