Discover the surprising glory and astounding fruit borne from leading a Bible study.
When the word of Christ falls on good soil, the results will astound. That’s why there’s a surprising glory in leading a group of ordinary people to simply open their Bibles, read what’s on the page, and discuss how God might use these words to change the world.Yet too many small group leaders hesitate to try such a method without professional guidance from a curriculum or study guide. This book will inspire and equip believers in Christ to lead fruitful and engaging small groups where God’s Word is read, discussed, and put to direct use to transform lives. This book will equip leaders to open the valve on this living water so thirsty souls can drink their fill.
Perhaps you’ve begun to learn how to study the Bible for yourself, and you’ve wondered whether you could competently lead others in Bible study. This book provides the vision and skills you need to start a group, develop good preparation habits, conduct a persuasive discussion, and shepherd group members through what they’re learning.
This book will serve lay leaders and Bible teachers who have any degree of experience. Some will gain confidence to lead their first Bible study that brings a neighbor to Christ. Others will learn to draw more deeply on the power of interaction, thereby overcoming their penchant for dominating conversations. All will discover the surprising glory and astounding fruit borne from leading a group of ordinary people to open their Bibles, read what’s on the page, and discuss how God might use these words to change the world.
And don't miss Peter Krol's companion volume: Sowable Word: Helping Ordinary People Learn to Lead Bible Studies.
Editorial Review Excerpts
“If you are looking for a simple and practical way to lead group Bible studies more effectively, this is it. Books on Bible study often focus on the Bible part or on group dynamics. Here, Peter combines both.”
— Dr. Tim S Lane, President, Institute for Pastoral Care; author of Unstuck: A Nine-Step Journey to Change that Lasts“
"Sowable Word is well-organized, biblical, thoughtful, seasoned, humble, practical, doable, readable and fresh — what more can you want from a book?”
— Tedd Tripp, pastor, author, and speaker
“I know Peter Krol, and through him, some of the dozens of Bible teachers and small group leaders he has trained. In this book, the confidence many need to begin leading others in the joyful study of God’s Word can be acquired.”
— David Helm, Senior Pastor, Christ Church Chicago; Chairman, The Charles Simeon Trust
“Here is a simple but powerful resource offering us practical help in studying the Word, then preparing and leading bible studies. Any believer who desires to dig deep and share biblical truths with others will benefit greatly.”
— Steve Shadrach, Center for Mission Mobilization
“Peter Krol offers an accessible, practical guide for how to create a Bible study that people actually want to attend. A novice leader will learn, and an experienced leader will be refined.”
— Colleen McFadden, Women’s Ministry Director, Trinity Community Church; Director of Women’s Workshops, Charles Simeon Trust
“Biblical, practical, step-by-step wisdom for every level of Bible study leader. Not one element of Bible study leadership is left unconsidered. It should be on the shelf of every serious leader.”
— Vince Burens, CEO/President, The Coalition for Christian Outreach (CCO)
“Peter Krol's website, Knowable Word, is a favorite of mine. Now, he has gathered up some of his wisdom and persistence about teaching Bible studies into a book to help us do just that, and do it well.”
