In the Word, Student Bible Studies: Book 6

In this sixth book of the series, your student will work independently, writing in this student book. The special lay-flat binding makes it a delight to use. Consumable.  Purchase one per student.

Your student will grow in faith and understanding of Scripture and learn several Bible study methods with these weekly 20-minute lessons. Throughout these lessons, your student will

• find out about Philippi and Philemon through narrative studies;
• do a word study and make personal life applications from Philippians;
• dig deeper with a doctrine study of Colossians;
• look for promises, commands, sins to avoid, and principles to live out in Ephesians with a GOAL study;
• get to know the Apostle Peter with a character study;
• understand the main theme of 1 Peter with a book study;
• complete a personal study of 2 Peter.

Throughout these studies, your student will also be prompted to record her findings about ten major doctrines in a long-term project of creating her own personal doctrinal summary as she encounters truths in Scripture.

Series Overview:

• The In the Word series is divided into three levels: Beginner, Moderate, and Advanced. If your student has not studied the Bible before, we recommend starting with the Beginner level. If your student has some previous experience with Bible study, we suggest looking at the sample for your student’s grade level to determine if the difficulty is appropriate. The books are intentionally written so that even Book 1 will be engaging for an adult who is just starting out with Bible study.
  • Beginner Level – Books 1 to 4 – designed for grades 3 and up
  • Moderate Level – Books 5 to 7 – designed for grades 7 and up
  • Advanced Level – Books 8 to 10 – designed for grades 10 and up
• The In the Word series helps students gain strong Biblical literacy and develop personal Bible study skills. The lessons are designed to guide students step by step as they learn how to study the Bible for themselves. The series begins at a level appropriate for 3rd grade and up, with enough depth that adults new to the Bible can learn from and enjoy any of these studies. As the series progresses, more Bible study methods are learned and practiced, setting students up for lifelong personal Bible study.
• Use as a standalone study or as a complement to the Bible history lessons in The Story of God and His People. Give your students a firm foundation of Bible study skills that will enrich their faith and deepen their confidence and understanding of Scripture.

Remember, the goal of Bible study is to grow in becoming a student of God’s Word. While the publisher has provided suggested grades for covering all 10 books in grades 3–12, it’s best to start where your student is at. The In the Word series is designed to be used by Bible students of any age, even adults, so books your student doesn’t cover in your home school can be completed after graduation if desired!
