(77kb)
When this group of ordinary first-century pagans believed in Jesus Christ, they changed so dramatically that many others across the Roman world were imitating their faith, hope and love. The apostle Paul, thrilled to see their vibrant Christian lives, recorded his delight in this lovely warm letter, packed with advice and encouragement to keep going. This was a transformation that would change lives, cultures and destinies far beyond first century Macedonia.
Learn through this Good Book Guide how an unremarkable, pointless existence, can be transformed into lives marked by an unshakeable faith, overflowing love and sensational hope. It is this kind of life that ordinary Christians like you are called to. So that, in the our world of suffering, hostility and trials we will be blameless and holy when our Lord Jesus comes.

Customer Reviews
These studies have been great for our home group. The observation questions got us into the text and always worked towards a clear main point, and the application questions kicked off fruitful discussion about how it changes our lives. Crucially, the application always came straight out of the main points of the passage. I've never found Bible studies before which needed so little adaptation before using them with our group!
Looking at the issues of faith, hope and love through this book has provided a real challenge to my faith. The questions have been really thought provoking and have encourged growth in my christian walk. Have seen a big difference in the lives of those who attendeed the bible study group as we are more open and caring towards each other as well as reaching out actively to others.

I find this book a really straightforward and adaptable way of getting into 1 Thessalonians. I have used it with two different youth cell groups, both of whom have enjoyed it. The application questions are helpful. The studies can be easily broken into smaller sections if there is not enough time to complete them in one go.
Am using this with an adult post-confirmation group. What a great start -to read through the whole book in one sitting. Each study provides both understanding and application. The group have been able to work on passages between weeks. It doesn't duck any challenges. I've not used it slavishly, but have greatly appreciated the framework - thank you.
I've 'done' this Bible study guide twice now with different groups of women. The reaction of the second group was that it is repetitive!
As with most study guides each study was too long. Some conveniently could be done over 2 weeks.
very useful for our group study.
Easy to follow and has good questions, some based on the text and some for group discussion, with helpful notes in the back for leaders.
Challenging and encouraging, this Good Book Guide was a great study to go through. It's made me think through just how I should be living to please God.These Good Book Guides promise to be a great new series - I'm going to work through another! HIGHLY recommended.
