Elkhart IN Young Adult Bible Study

Our group used this Bible Study and it was excellent! There was anywhere between 12-4 of us that would come on a given week, and this helped us all grow in our faith. The references and quotations were a great way to give a summary to all of our faith. Members of our group ranged from in age from 50ish to 18. We all learned something new and were inspired with each and every week. With a young adult Bible Study, it was great that even if you didn't do the "homework" and just showed up, you learned amazing things from the discussion as well. Of course we learned the most and had the most spiritual growth when doing all the questions and the studies, but whatever we put into it, God rewarded tenfold. The set up of the study time was especially helpful, given the fact that the leader wanted to learn from the Bible, and not learn how to run things. It gave great suggestions for social gatherings that really fostered our friendships, and helped us get to know each other.The references from the CCC were helpful to clarify technical questions, and to give articulate reasons to a particular teaching. We loved how it referred us back to the OT in order to see how Christ fulfilled so many teachings of the prophets. We liked using this study so much that we ended up buying the Genesis version and are looking into the third one to buy from this series to start in July.

Excellent Study Resource!

This study guide has been a true blessing for the Catholic bible study that my wife and I coordinate. It encompasses the gospel of John by chapter and adds interesting insights from the other biblical books as well as the Catechism. It is a nice mix of text and questions. It facilitates discussion beautifully. I suspect we will use other guides in this series once this one has been completed. Go for it!

I love this book!

This is a great resource for Catholic Bible Study! I love how the workbook questions have the reader refer to different parts of the Bible and the Catechism! The reflections are deep and learned, and I appreciate how there are many quotes from the Saints. It seems to have some of everything.

Excellent Study

I ran a Bible study using this book and the members adored it. This book can be used by a beginner or an advanced study. It works for everyone.
