The Planning Kit is design to provided you with everything to review
the study. To implement it for your church you need only to purchase a
Participant Book for each study participant. You receive one each of the
Participant Book, Leader Guide, and DVD.
Explore the Old Testament's story of God and God's calling of the
people of Israel through the many "voices" of the biblical text. Hear
the magnificence of a Creation hymn, discover the law and wisdom
teachings, listen to the warning of the prophets and explore the poetry
of the Song of Solomon.
In the two weekly video segments, first gain insight from biblical
scholars and then take a visual tour of archaeological sites, ancient
artifacts, and other physical remains, related to and illuminating
scripture and events.
Ideal experience for adults who are interested in the practice of
prayer and worship and would like to connect prayer practice with
Scripture. The study is accessible for adults with little prior Bible
experience.
Participants gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the Old
Testament as an integral part of the Christian Bible and a renewed
discovery of our identity in God and God's vision for all things.
This eight-week study includes a participant book outlining daily
reading assignments for group preparations, a leader guide suggesting
discussion activities for use in the 60–90-minute weekly meeting, and a
video component providing interpretation and context for the biblical
texts.
