Best Bible Study

This book has transformed my prayer life. I teach a lesson each week to my Sunday school class. We've all seen God answer our prayers. This is a real must-have.

An Oldie but a Goodie

This material has been out a long time -- since the 70's but it's still as relevant and as helpful as ever. In this workbook Dunnam lays out a theology of prayer, teaches several different prayer practices and lays out the groundwork for an ongoing small group. That's pretty good for a ten week course!

the door to a deeper prayer life

This is by far the best small group study resource I have ever read. It is not surprising that almost half a million copies were sold in its first 20 years. As the title suggests, this book helps bring prayer to life. The book is divided into six weeks of daily individual studies, with an option of extending the study by another three weeks. Each week ends with a group meeting. Questions are provided within the book that encourage group members to share and assess the past week's adventure. Each day contains a powerful lesson, time for "reflecting and recording", and an assignment to carry you through the day. This is not just a well-organized scripture study. It gets right to the heart of applying scripture and clearing away the obstacles that are keeping us from a deeper prayer life. Each lesson flows seamlessly into the next, providing a steady stream of learning and growth. This resource will prove valuable for both the beginner and the seasoned 'prayer warrior'. Not only will it get you comfortable with prayer, it will get you downright excited about it. Want a deeper prayer life? Start here, and you won't be disappointed.

The #1 book for getting started in a serious prayer life.

This notebook has been in print for 20 years, and has sold almost 500,00 copies. It is the best book I've ever seen for getting started in a serious prayer life.It is intended to be used in a small group setting for a six week study. It asks that you read only one page a day, and spend 25 minutes reading, making notes in the book and praying. If you don't take the time each day to do what it suggests, you will miss that growth that it promises.I have used this workbook to lead small group studies at least four times. It has changed more lives than any other book I have ever used.
