About this book

This six-session Bible study by Tim Chester on 1 Samuel will take you into a story of battles and murders, schemes and betrayals, and shepherds and giants. It is also the history of what happened when God gave his people the king they wanted and then gave his people the king they needed. And through it all, it paints a wonderful picture of the ultimate King God has chosen for his people: his Son, Jesus.

With his trademark insight and clarity, Tim Chester unpacks this part of the Old Testament for small groups, enabling them to appreciate Jesus' rule for his people and to see how to live as his subjects today.

Endorsements

I love this small group study guide series from The Good Book Company. Christians are regularly told they should spend more time studying God’s Word, but sometimes there’s not a clear plan for how to do this. These study guides provide practical, step-by-step guidance on working through books of the Bible, along with wonderful questions that encourage reflection and application. I hope churches and Christian ministries will take advantage of this wonderful resource.

Michael J. Kruger President and Professor of New Testament, Reformed Theological Seminary, Charlotte, North Carolina

The aim of the The Good Book Company is to be biblical, relevant and accessible, and nothing embodies that ethos more than their Good Book Guides. Each guide provides a framework for your group to dig into the text of Scripture for itself while providing enough of a steer to keep you on track plus useful pointers towards application. The result is a great combination of fidelity to Scripture and ease of use.

Tim Chester Crosslands Training; Author of Enjoying God

The Good Book Guides are an immensely precious resource for the church. A careful blend of helpful context and clearly-worded, searching questions which aim to help readers to uncover the meaning of the text and  apply it in responsible ways. I think these small group studies are the best available and pray that they will continue to prove helpful to local churches across the world!

(Review written for '1 Samuel: Choose your King')

The studies guide the reader into understanding the passage being read, but does not answer all the questions that may be asked. However, one has to read with the head, before gems strike the heart of the believer. When one digs earnestly, one finds pearls of treasure.
