Bible studies that have depth and application to life are hard to find. These Bible studies were designed to help you understand the nuances of scripture and apply them to your life. Each study has six or seven lessons filled with insights into scripture. They are ready to use with a two-page student lesson that you can hand out and a four-page leader’s guide that can be used to lead the group or handed out if you wish. Each lesson has an introduction that helps you understand the text, understand how it relates to you, and how it applies to your life.

You may copy the studies for local use, but please do not sell any material in these books. They are being offered freely to you, and I would ask that you respect my generosity. You may, however, share the books with others you know so that they may grow in their faith.
