Decent Bible Study

This Bible study is easy to follow. Some of the discussion questions are not very thought provoking or do not seem to address the passage of Scripture that were read. Otherwise, it is a fairly good study.

Change Your Life

I'm not necessarily saying this book will change your life, but prayer will, and this book teaches you how to pray. I would recommend studying this with a small group or at least a couple of friends, because sharing your stories of answered prayer and sharing prayer requests with each other gives you direction and hope and gratitude.

a guide for study of prayers in the Old and New Testaments

This is a good study booklet with open-ended discussion questions that guide the group through each passage of scripture. The studies can be done in a reasonable amount of time, and there are just enough questions for an hour's worth of group time. Our group has enjoyed using the material.
