This eight-session Bible study by Mike McKinley on Luke 1 to 12 brings you face to face with Jesus in a way that is fresh and compelling for both experienced and new readers.
Each session will draw you to look closely at the Bible text and apply it meaningfully to your everyday life. The guide includes questions that open up discussion, optional personal reflections, and a concise Leader’s Guide.
Flexible and easy to use, Good Book Guides are perfect for both groups and individuals.
“The Good Book Guides are a fantastic resource for small-groups and personal study. I've used many of them myself. For a busy small-group leader, or a Christian looking for refreshment in his or her devotional life, these come so highly recommended.” - Sam Allberry, Pastor and Author
“Each guide in this series 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
This is a verse-by-verse study on the first half of the gospel of Luke. Each of the 7 sessions has the following format as well as a dictionary for some of the key words.
Talkabout: ice breaker for groups or getting your thoughts going if doing alone
Investigate: explore the passage
Apply: practical questions
Explore more: go deeper
Getting Personal: personal reflection
Pray: prayer
There’s a leader’s guide in the second half of the book to facilitate group discussions. There’s also a map at the beginning as well as some context for why to study the gospel of Luke.
This is a clear and concise study guide. It offers very little commentary or context, but can be used as a companion to the commentary “Luke 1-12 for You”. I do appreciate the separation of these as I can tend to focus more easily on the commentary than the actual verses when they are together. This study allows me to wrestle with Scripture on my own before immediately turning to a commentary. I think this approach helps me to actually learn better than reading the verses with the commentary before approaching the questions.
I enjoy the simplicity to the study guide with how each session is laid out. It can easily be done on its own for individual study, but is also set up to be great for groups. The leader’s guide in the back equips even the most inexperienced leader to do well. These are targeted for adults, but I am even thinking about using them in our homeschooling in our preteen/teen years with the kids.
I received a complimentary copy as a reviewer and all opinions shared are my own.

My small group really benefitted from these studies that brought home to us the surprising power, compassion and countercultural mission of Jesus. Comprehensive leader's notes help with preparation, and the reflection and application questions are well crafted to provide opportunities to live out what we learn. As a previous reviewer points out, each study divides into two or three parts that could easily be individual sessions! As the leader I worked around this by choosing one part to emphasise and spend a little more time on, but it does take bearing in mind and advance planning. I would love to ...run this set of studies again some day in 15 or 16 sessions, with even more reflection and application.

This is excellent material and I agree with the previous reviewer in everything. The only problem is there is far too much content in each study. We could easily have spent two or three weeks in each section and we found this rather frustrating, especially as we are trying to train up new leaders who found it intimidating.
