My wife and I were looking for a Bible study to complete together at home. We chose this book as a starting point, and I am glad that we did. It uses a format that works well for generating discussion, and gaining greater insight into the Bible. Max Lucado introduces the Bible book which you will study, then gives you a question to start discussion before you get into the actual text. Next comes a Bible passage followed by a series of questions about the passage. Afterwards, you have a short section from another Christian book (many of these are from one of Max Lucado's books) with more questions, a prayer, a chance to journal your thoughts, and some final questions.

I know that this sounds like a lot of work, but it is worth every minute. My wife and I learned a lot from the book and each other while working our way through 1&2 Timothy and Titus. Overall, I would say that we averaged about 30-45 minutes on each study. Of course, I count this time as the best kind of quality time that a couple can spend together.

I highly recommend this book to anyone, or any small group who is looking for a Bible study that will help them better understand 1&2 Timothy and Titus. The book is made up of 12 lessons, so you could easily finish this study in as little as two weeks (we have already bought another book in this series since we enjoyed this one so much).

Lets the reader relate the bible lesson to how they can relate the subject to todays world.Many times there is a para-phrase of specific subject matter for bible chapters. He picks out the meaty parts of each chapter and gets the readers reflection as it relates to the time of writing and to today.
