Each study consists of a Lesson, Outline, Teacher’s Guide, Discipleship Questions, Answer Key, and Scriptures. Some studies also have additional information.

Printable files of the Outline, Discipleship Questions, and Scriptures can be found on the CD-ROM included with this book. Copies may be made for each person in the group.
