Discover for Yourself (D4Y) Studies
Discover for Yourself (D4Y) - Inductive Bible Studies for Kids are an exciting and very different way of getting them into the Bible. Written around roles such as film makers, astronauts or reporters, they learn that it can be fun to study the Word of God for themselves. Click on the book image to download a sample D4Y study.
New Inductive Study Series (NISS)
New Inductive Study Series (NISS) studies give an overview of each book of the Bible, focussing on the context - for example, Standing firm in the last days (Paul's letters to the Thessalonians) and God's blueprint for Bible prophecy (the book of Daniel). God are You there?, covering the Gospel of John, has proved equally helpful in re-establishing believers in Christ and in bringing people into the Kingdom of God - it's a great resource for discipling!
