5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent Bible study - highly recommended!
By J. Barrett on May 13, 2007
Format: Paperback
Zondervan's "Deeper Connections" is an excellent resource for the church or any small group. Matt Williams, the general editor of the series, has gathered together a solid group of scholars who are experts in their fields, but who can also communicate to the church. These include Gary Burge, David Garland, Mark Strauss, Michael Wilkins, and Ben Witherington III.

The series consists of three separate dvds - The Prayers of Jesus, The Miracles of Jesus, and The Parables of Jesus - with six Bible studies on each dvd.

The series contains a dvd and participant's guide (both purchased separately). The dvd and guide are designed to follow a three-part pattern: a close look at the original meaning of the biblical text, attention to the historical and cultural background, and an encouraging and challenging application of the text's meaning for today. Thus, each study is broken up into three short segments that take small groups deeper into various texts of the Gospels. Between each of these teaching segments, there is time for group discussion. The dvd is well done, while not being overly flashy or distracting. Jarrett Stevens, the host, introduces each section from a different location in Israel. This may seem insignificant to some, but it truly helps set the scene and context as each location is relevant to the text that will be discussed on the dvd.

So far my small group has gone through the first three studies and it has produced a lot of valuable and fruitful conversations. The dvd teachers have all shown a great balance of challenging us to understand the texts and applying them to our lives. The dvd allows room for discussion, and the participants guide is clear and practical as it helps initiate conversations with relevant and challenging questions.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsA unique, in-depth study of the Prayers of Jesus!!!
By Deepak K. Singh on June 25, 2008
Format: DVD
The three-volume Deeper Connections series produced by Zondervan is unique. Unlike any other Bible study available, this visually stunning DVD series is taught and written by biblical experts - six professors with specialized areas of knowledge. The three volumes in this study series are :

1. The Parables of Jesus
2. The Prayers of Jesus
3. Miracles of Jesus

The Teachers featured on the series are : Dr. Gary Burge, Wheaton College; Dr. David Garland, Truett Theological Seminary; Dr. Mark Strauss, Bethel Seminary; Dr. Michael Wilkins, Talbot School of Theology; Dr. Matt Williams, Biola University; Dr. Ben Witherington III, Asbury Theological Seminary.

Hosted by Jarrett Stevens and filmed in locations as diverse as Gloucester harbor, the Holy Land, Boston's Old North Church, and Chicago's lakefront, each volume consists of six fascinating sessions. Each session is taught by a different instructor and consists of three components:

1. Historical and cultural background
2. An engaging, close look at the biblical text and its meaning
3. Accurate, encouraging, and challenging applications of the Bible's message to life today

Each volume is accompanied by a Participant Guide which is available separately allowing participants to make deeper connections with a knowledge of historical background of the Bible, biblical text, and real life applications.

'The Prayers of Jesus: Six In-Depth Studies Connecting the Bible to Life' is one of the volumes of the Deeper Connections series focusing on prayers of Jesus. Prayer was the backbone of Jesus' life and ministry. From his baptism to his crucifixion, the Gospels portray Jesus as a man of prayer who knew and deeply valued intimate communion with his heavenly Father.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsGood, but not great.
By F. Allen on October 11, 2007
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
My small group has enjoyed the teachings on the dvd (some more than others) and have learned lessons on prayer that we were not expecting. The contextual information and images of the Holyland are terrific. As with most 'what do you think' questions, my study members get tired of giving really obvious answers. My opinion is that the study questions are average, while the teachers and their points have more impact.

I think the dvd is too expensive.

5.0 out of 5 starsThis whole series is great
By Laurie on January 3, 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I facilitate the Bible studies at our non-denominational church. This whole series is profound yet simple enough for the average Christian. There is a lot of learning that is easily presented…and then there is time to discuss the points in each section. Our classes include children to great-grandparents.

3.0 out of 5 starsThe prayers of Jesus
By Bethann Lee on March 24, 2010
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
The book is helpful to the age of adults I am teaching. However, using it WITH the video is less than satisfactory. The people are upset that the speakers do not talk to them, but to someone(s) over their shoulder.

The book allows for them to follow the talk fairly well. I have added a great deal more from commentaries. This opens conversations better than either the book OR the video.

The content and the background pictures AND the expertise of the speakers are wonderful. The production of the product leaves a great deal to be desired.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat Small Group Study
By Gerald Hoeman on October 5, 2011
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
We have a small group Bible study that has been meeting 6 years. The participants like this series very much. The historical segments are particularly good, showing the settings where Jesus actually walked the earth. This is helpful since none of the group has gone to the Holy Land. Yes, it may be distracting that the teachers are not looking at the camera. However, the lessons are relevant, and we ignore the camera glitches.

There isn't much to the chapters to assist in the study of the prayers. It isn't as helpful as I would have liked!
