Jane Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I don't usually use bible study guides, but am considering one for the upcoming months. Any favorites from the Reformed Theologists? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i.love.lucy Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 :lurk5: John MacArthur has a bunch for individual book studies. I loved the one on the book of James especially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6packofun Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I'm not on the Calvinist boat as of yet, lol, but I love pretty much everything by John MacArthur or John Piper. MacArthur's Bible Commentaries (individual, NT/OT or one-volume) are all really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't ever done a thorough study of the Book of James. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikeBookBread Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 How about getting a subscription to Tabletalk put out by Ligonier (R.C. Sproul). It has a daily reading/study, and readings for the weekend. Anything by MacArthur is good in my book, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jane Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 Elizabeth George. You ladies crack me up. You recommend authors instead of titles. The last group study I did was EG (didn't realize she was a dark sider though), any particular favorites of yours, Mommaduck? I like to hear what others loved. :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in Neverland Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Well I haven't used any bible study guides by Piper but I LOVE his book "Don't Waste Your Life". It changed MY life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own: * A Woman's Walk With God * Beautiful in God's Eyes * Loving God With All Your Mind * Putting On a Gentle & Quiet Spirit - I Peter (yeah, still working through this one, can you tell :lol: ) * Growing in Wisdom & Faith - James The one I'm borrowing has a study guide to buy with it. The last two are part of her A Woman After God's Own Heart fill-in-the-blank Bible study series. The other three are more reading/studying with questions asked, but not "fill-in-the-blank". I don't like most Bible studies, especially those pressed towards women. I'd rather read the Church Fathers. Elizabeth George is the exception to the rule.

6packofun Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 LOL Sorry! My favorite is also Don't Waste Your Life...but I'm not sure he's written any Bible study guides, per se. Here is an article/interview with him about studying the Bible, though! http://www.biblestudymagazine.com/john-piper/BSMSeptOct09JohnPiper.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladydusk Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I really like Trusting God: Even When Life Hurts by Jerry Bridges. All of his books are well respected in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 Thank you everyone! While I originally asked for a good bible study guide, I found myself also delighted by the book recommendations. This is just one of those seasons in my life where I am craving more than just my traditional bible study. I go through these stages. I love it that there is some duplication in recommendations because it is always a good sign. Heather, you gave me a new author. Mommaduck, I love your thorough list and it's very different from the others. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikeBookBread Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Tim Challies just posted this link to a "deal of the day" over on CBD: a John MacArthur day by day devotional for the year: From Ordinary to Extraordinary: A Yearlong Devotional to Discover What God Wants to Do with You .
