If you have ever felt inadequate when preparing to lead a small group or one-to-one Bible study, then this book is for you! Karen Soole makes clear from the outset that she doesn’t have all the answers and that the perfect Bible study does not exist. However, her conviction is that ‘God is Sovereign, his Word is powerful, and he works despite me!’.
Her starting point is to explain why small group Bible study is still important, even – and perhaps especially – in churches where expository Bible teaching is strong. Paul exhorts us in Colossians 3.16 to ‘let the word dwell among [us] richly’, which is why it is important to allow what we have heard in a sermon to sink in with further study and prayer.
