One of our missionaries asked this past week for our best recommendation as to our best Bible study recommendations. Would you help us make a short list? Would you include, for example, Kelly Minter’s study on “Nehemiah: A Heart that can Break,” at…

Kelly Minter’s 7-week study, Nehemiah, fits well with a church missions emphasis. She emphasizes the concept to let God break your heart for the hurting, lost world and move you to lead people to Jesus.
Or would it include Beth Moore’s “Breaking Free: The Journey, the Stories,” at…

or John Eldredge’s, “Wild at Heart,” available as a video series at…

Easy choice for me. I LOVED J.D. Greear’s “The a Gospel According to Jonah.” Outstanding! 6-week study. I took our home church through this last Fall. I would do it again in a heartbeat.
The Bible Study Course that I recommend would be Topical Memory System, written by The Navigators.
It’s simply a list of 60 basic Scriptures which connect with each other by topic and contents.
If a person studies each Scripture carefully, and looks up the words individually in a Concordance, he/she can profit greatly in the Word.
As a discipler I have to ascertain the spiritual maturity level of the group before choosing a bible study, but I have truly enjoyed going through Swindoll’s “Hand me another Brick” with groups in the past. It looks as personal character, hearing God, following God’s call and the list goes on. Good leadership development tool. When I have used it in the past it was hard to find copies but Amazon has it in stock currently.
Oral learners will appreciate Bible studies that are relational. Let them exegete the study rather than using workbooks or lecture. And have a blast doing it! Write for free catalog that includes Spiritual Warfare, Making Disciplemakers, Heroes & Villains, Jesus is Enough, Family Time Devotions, Go Story! (Volunteer training), and many more.
