A good Bible Study for "now"

I live in NYC (just afew blocks from the WTC) and my bible study group has been using Intervarsity's Lifeguide series for the last few years. Some of the studies have been pretty basic (especially David), but this book really resonated with us right now. Many people in NYC (and across the world) have seen their faith challenged - why would God allow this? what should we pray for? are we safe? etc. This book isn't going to offer any solid answers, but it pulls on excellent scripture to set you in the right direction. The first study (Hebrews 11) jumps right into historical characters in the bible (Abraham, Noah, Enoch) and explores their faith. Following chapters focus on Christ's words, Paul's life, David's actions and Abraham's willingness to sacrifice. There is also a nice mix of OT and NT readings for a balanced approach.If you are looking to explore (or strengthen) your faith, this book will pair you up with good scripture and set you in the right direction!
