Which Bible study is right for your and your group?
We wanted to provide an easy breakdown of these Bible studies and highlight the focus of each study as you prayerfully consider which of the studies are best for your group during the upcoming year.
All of these studies are designed to be “All-Play” meaning that if someone doesn’t get to the homework, they can still dive into the group time. No one needs to feel left out! But of course, those who dive into the homework and reading will always get more out of the study.
Each of these studies are also created to bring people together. The questions are designed to take people deeper into the Scripture, but also create a safe place where people can share their stories and lives together as followers of Jesus.
While some groups decide to take their group through the following studies using just the workbook, we have found that participants get the most out of the study when they use it in unison with the book. We want to make this as affordable as possible, so we’ve created great discounts (up to 40%) when you purchase the book and workbook combination. Click here to see these great deals.
And remember: if you order 25 or more of any book/workbook combinations, Margaret will Skype into your Bible study for a short greeting with your group.
