Bible studies book by book

Work through a book the way it was written to be read — in order, at your own pace. Eleven guided studies, each in four or five sessions. These eleven are a chosen set, not a start on all sixty-six — every book of the Bible has the commentary layer, but a guided study is written by hand and there are eleven of them.
