Growing with Scripture,
By Chelly J. (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Knowing Scripture (Paperback)
This six week study is terrific if you goal is to learn to understand and apply the scripture to your life and not just read or memorize it. It is very thought provoking. Try to answer the questions yourself before looking at the author's ideas on the direction the questions should take. I found it very helpful to have a study bible handy while completing the lessons. Each lesson can be completed in about 45 minutes. If you're doing this as a group bible study, encourage the members to complete the lessons in advance so that your entire time together can be spent on discussing everyone's thoughts on the questions.
