From the Back Cover

1 TIMOTHY. In the first of the pastoral epistles, Paul wrote to Timothy in Ephesus, encouraging him in his faith, and affirming his leadership and abilities. Timothy’s work was overwhelming, so Paul gave him a set of guidelines for choosing leadership within the congregation to help Timothy in his ministry. These guidelines provide today’s church with the most thorough instruction for choosing strong and godly leaders. And they offer help for Christians today wanting to become effective leaders in the church. LifeChange Series: Christians have a lifelong goal: to become like Christ. This involves change, and change isn’t always easy. But the more you know of God’s purposes for you, the more you can experience His joy and participate in His plan. The LifeChange Series of Bible studies on books of the Bible can help you grow in Christlikeness through a life-changing encounter with God’s Word. You’ll benefit in these important ways: 1) You’ll gain a firm understanding of the book-its historical context, purpose, structure, and meaning; 2) You’ll apply its powerful, relevant wisdom to needs and issues you are currently working through; and 3) You’ll acquire personal study skills and a thirst to return to the book on your own-so you can keep going deeper into its life-transforming truths.

This review is from: 1 Timothy (LifeChange) (Paperback)

I don't like books like this, because they ask SO MANY questions that are totally obvious that it's annoying.

For Example: (This is not an actual example, but this is just a type of question that is frequent)

Read I Timothy 3
2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

3Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous

Question 1: What are some qualities that need to be present in a bishop's life?

Questions like this are totally worthless in my mind. A 1st grader could just repeat what they just read. It doesn't make you think at all, and questions like that are simply annoying.

This book does this too much, but it also has a lot of really good questions. There are enough really good questions for me to list it as 4 stars, but it's not a solid 4... more like a 3.2 rounded up.
