Bible Study,

Last semester, my mom bought me and Elizabeth bible study's and we're both a little over half way through the book (we've been taking our time). but it is the best Bible study i have done in a long time, so if you're looking for a bible study, this one is a good one to consider.

The name of the book is: Experiencing God youth edition
and its by: Henry T. Blackaby & Claude V. King
