I love this small group study guide series from The Good Book Company. Christians are regularly told they should spend more time studying God’s Word, but sometimes there’s not a clear plan for how to do this. These study guides provide practical, step-by-step guidance on working through books of the Bible, along with wonderful questions that encourage reflection and application. I hope churches and Christian ministries will take advantage of this wonderful resource.
The aim of the The Good Book Company is to be biblical, relevant and accessible, and nothing embodies that ethos more than their Good Book Guides. Each guide provides a framework for your group to dig into the text of Scripture for itself while providing enough of a steer to keep you on track plus useful pointers towards application. The result is a great combination of fidelity to Scripture and ease of use.
The Good Book Guides are an immensely precious resource for the church. A careful blend of helpful context and clearly-worded, searching questions which aim to help readers to uncover the meaning of the text and apply it in responsible ways. I think these small group studies are the best available and pray that they will continue to prove helpful to local churches across the world!
I'm part of the core group of a brand new church plant, and we've been slowly working through this guide in our midweek gatherings. It has been very insightful, and very natural to also add my own open-ended questions to the study. We've had great discussion as we've studied the birth of the Church, especially in the context of the birth of our new church!
We'd love to see another guide released that covers the rest of the book!
Gets into the message of Acts and what we should be about (Acts 1:8)! There's plenty to talk about and will easily take an hour over each study.
This book promised questions that would really open up discussion, But we found that most were closed questions expecting one or a limited range of answers.
