We believe you have made a wise choice in selecting the Living Studies Series for your Sunday school elective studies or for your home study or church group. Each of these Living Studies Series consists of a textbook and a Leader's Guide. Ideally each member of the class will purchase or be furnished a Living Studies textbook. The Leader's Guide is designed to provide creative content and methodology so that people with relatively little background in Christian education can conduct a good discussion group. Each lesson, based on sound education principles, is designed for a series of forty-five-minute to one-hour sessions. The aim is to produce in-depth interaction with the material of the textbook and to achieve both informational (things they should know) and behavioral (thingsthey should do) goals. - from Amzon
