Many churches have benefited greatly from using |Christianity Explored| to explain the gospel, and now the Good Book Company has provided us with a follow-on course to enable the young Christian to explore what it means to be a disciple of Christ.
Designed to run over eight weeks, each evening of the course unfolds as follows: leaders’ prayer meeting, meal, group discussion, talk, second group discussion. Paul’s letter to the Philippians is the basic text for the course, although a variety of topics (such as the cross, the Holy Spirit and prayer) are covered in the discussion slots and in additional Bible readings that are prescribed for each day of the course period.
The material looks outstanding. By providing both the study questions and the eight talk outlines (contained in the leaders’ manual), the writers have done the hard work for us. Leaders are given good, biblical advice for being an effective discipler along with many useful tips for running the group. Participants benefit from questions that accompany their daily Bible readings. Good handling of Scripture is modelled in the use of Philippians.
