For Christians desiring to teach or disciple, the end of the book also includes instructions on how to lead a small group or counseling session on the material.

Have you ever had an idea you thought was God’s will, but was based on something logical? Hmmm. Did you know the Bible is the ultimate source of authority, even over intellect and tradition? Develop a deeper understanding of each topic through scripture studies and verse cards, answering questions, matching exercises, word searches, etc. Each day ends with a commitment to apply what you have learned.
