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 serve on the women’s Bible study team at our church, so I’m always looking for good Bible study resources. These Good Book guides check all the right boxes. The “Investigate”questions help students to observe and think critically about the text. They’re deep enough so that you can understand the passage, but not overly intimidating or academic. The “apply” questions help students to make connections between the text and their own hearts and lives. The “Dictionary” vocab words sprinkled throughout the study are also nice.
There are a few optional sections. The “Getting Personal” questions are great for personal reflection and may be good discussion questions for groups that have an established rapport. The “Explore More” section allows eager students to dig even deeper into related Biblical texts.
The “Talkabout” question serves as an icebreaker for group discussions, and the leader guide which includes answers to the questions and helpful notes is incredibly valuable for Bible study leaders and facilitators. One of my fellow Bible study team members pointed out that because the leader guide is printed within the study, the participants also have all the answers at their fingertips. Some might find this problematic, but I personally don’t see it as a problem. As a participant, I think I would appreciate the “safety net” of having the answers—especially if I ever had to miss the group discussion.
I am going through the Daniel guide right now on my own, and it has made an intimidating book of the Bible feel accessible!
Overall, I’m grateful for this resource and definitely hope to use it in my personal study and our local church context.
