Creative, engaging Bible study questions are hard to come by ... without rewriting questions for yourself. Each book of questions leads a small group through a book (or combination of books) in the Bible-helping students become more biblically literate, and allowing them to come face-to-face with God's Word. Students will be pushed, encouraged, and challenged by these studies. But more than all this, they will be changed. Each passage of Scripture sets the topic-and the questions are constructed to help students think deeply, talk openly, and apply what they are learning to their lives. Leaders will be able to pick it up and use it immediately with kids. Volunteers are looking for good "e;book of the Bible studies"e; they can pick up and use in their groups. Grab it and go, these studies will meet your students where they are and help them see how God's Word can speak to their world.
