The Only Bible Study Guide You’ll Ever Need!
By Michael C. Mack | Published 10/4/2007 | October 2007 , Bible Study Unrated
Do you need printed study guides to lead your group? I’ve written and edited plenty of these guides myself. I’ve used them in my groups. I still do. As a small groups pastor I buy them for and recommend them to our groups. Yes, I’ve been a study-guide pusher. But I’m beginning to ask some hard questions.

So for 6+ years straight, I never missed a day of work because of illness. Did I get sick during that time? Yes. But I said, “no matter, I’m going to work.”

Small groups often discuss books by Christian authors, one or two chapters at a time. The next time your group chooses a book to read--and it doesn't come with a study guide or questions for group interaction--employ the following tips.
