Book Bible Studies:
The idea behind this type of bible study is to take a book and work
through it. Often bible study leaders will choose to use a devotional
book or a book on a specific topic to help get an expert opinion on the
subject they want to study. There are many of these resources on almost
any topic imaginable.
This style of bible study is geared toward a group that is looking for
more immediate structure. Most newer leaders will use this style because
books tend to offer discussion-type questions and a brief discussion of
the text or topic involved. There is less preparation necessary for this
type of study.
