Easy-to-lead, 7-session Bible study on Galatians that will thrill you about gospel freedom. Part of the bestselling Good Book Guide series, with over 1 million copies sold.
Part of the Good Book Guides series.
This seven-session Bible study on Galatians by Timothy Keller will excite Christians about the gospel and help them apply it to every aspect of their lives.
The Galatian church was torn between the view that their efforts saved them and the gospel, which told them that it was Christ's work that mattered. The choice still confronts us today, making this a hugely relevant and exciting book to study.
Each session will draw you to look closely at the Bible text and apply it meaningfully to your everyday life. It includes questions that open up discussion, optional personal reflections, and a concise Leader’s Guide.
Flexible and easy to use, Good Book Guides are perfect for both groups and individuals.
Features:
“The Good Book Guides are a fantastic resource for small-groups and personal study. I've used many of them myself. For a busy small-group leader, or a Christian looking for refreshment in his or her devotional life, these come so highly recommended.” - Sam Allberry, Pastor and Author
“Each guide in this series 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.” - Tim Chester, Crosslands Training; Author

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!
We have thoroughly enjoyed all the study guides created in The Good Book Guides series from The Good Book Company. We also very much enjoy Timothy Keller's works so I had no doubt that this study would be a great resource.
The book is structured with seven sessions that can be completed in whatever timeframe you wish. The introduction discusses the format of each session and how best to utilize the book. Keller also includes a "Why Study Galations" pitch along with a graphical timeline and map for reference.
Each session includes the following sections:
- Talkabout: ice breaker to create initial discussion around the Bible
- Investigate: passage, dictionary, and exploratory questions
- Apply: practical and personal questions
- Explore More: going deeper
- Getting Personal: personal reflection
- Pray: sit with the Lord
Keller also includes a leaders guide that includes additional questions and insight for each section of each session. This guide allows the book to be used in a small group format but it can also easily be used as a personal study.
I appreciate the variety within each session. Although some sections are noted as optional, I do believe every part is vital to getting the most out of the book being studies. This was a great study and I'm excited to use it for a small group setting.
I received a copy of this book from The Good Book Company in exchange for an honest review.
