I love this small group study guide series from The Good Book Company. Christians are regularly told they should spend more time studying God’s Word, but sometimes there’s not a clear plan for how to do this. These study guides provide practical, step-by-step guidance on working through books of the Bible, along with wonderful questions that encourage reflection and application. I hope churches and Christian ministries will take advantage of this wonderful resource.
The aim of the The Good Book Company is to be biblical, relevant and accessible, and nothing embodies that ethos more than their Good Book Guides. Each guide provides a framework for your group to dig into the text of Scripture for itself while providing enough of a steer to keep you on track plus useful pointers towards application. The result is a great combination of fidelity to Scripture and ease of use.
The Good Book Guides are an immensely precious resource for the church. A careful blend of helpful context and clearly-worded, searching questions which aim to help readers to uncover the meaning of the text and apply it in responsible ways. I think these small group studies are the best available and pray that they will continue to prove helpful to local churches across the world!
My small group really benefitted from these studies that brought home to us the surprising power, compassion and countercultural mission of Jesus. Comprehensive leader's notes help with preparation, and the reflection and application questions are well crafted to provide opportunities to live out what we learn. As a previous reviewer points out, each study divides into two or three parts that could easily be individual sessions! As the leader I worked around this by choosing one part to emphasise and spend a little more time on, but it does take bearing in mind and advance planning. I would love to run this set of studies again some day in 15 or 16 sessions, with even more reflection and application.
This is excellent material and I agree with the previous reviewer in everything. The only problem is there is far too much content in each study. We could easily have spent two or three weeks in each section and we found this rather frustrating, especially as we are trying to train up new leaders who found it intimidating.
Brilliant study book. Encourages thinking outside the box. Section for teaching, allows the student to get an insight into the right train of thought, relevant to the study. Very highly recommended.
