A note about this book
In May, Immanuel Church Nashville, where Sam Allberry had been serving as a pastor, announced that the elders had found Sam to be disqualified from gospel ministry due to his conduct in an inappropriate relationship. You can read their statement here. At TGBC, we seek to follow the lead of the church in discerning who is qualified to have a teaching ministry through the writing of books. We therefore paused sales of the books Sam has published with TGBC.
Since then we have spoken directly both with the leadership of Immanuel and with Sam himself. As a result, we are continuing to pause sales but not to cease publication altogether. We will continue to review the situation and speak with those involved, as well as to pray for them.
If you have any questions about Sam's books, please email admin@thegoodbook.com.au. And if you would like to be pointed to a resource similar to the one on this product page, please email hello@thegoodbook.com.au and we’d be glad to try to help.

In this seven-session Bible study, Sam Allberry unpacks John's letters, which were written to give us joyful certainty in our faith.
Each session will draw you to look closely at the Bible text and apply it meaningfully to your everyday life. It includes questions that open up discussion, optional personal reflections and a concise Leader’s Guide.
Flexible and easy to use, Good Book Guides are perfect for both groups and individuals.
Features:
"The Good Book Guides are easily the most consistently faithful and helpful small-group workbooks available.” Adrian Reynolds, Director of the Proclamation Trust
"God-centered, application-oriented, and driven by the text throughout, this resource is a gift to God’s church." Matt Smethurst, lead pastor of River City Baptist Church in Richmond, Virginia, editor at the Gospel Coalition, and author.
Did this study with a Wednesday evening men's group. Allberry delivers a biblically accurate dive into 1,2, & 3 John. His teaching brought out revelations to us that are challenging our walk. I don't know what else you could ask of a study.
1, 2, and 3 John: Joyful Certainty by Sam Allberry is a well-structured, seven-session Bible study that guides both the head and the heart through the powerful themes found in John’s letters.
The questions in the study guide prompted thoughtful reflection. One particularly memorable example was the unpacking of what it means that “the world and its desires pass away.” This isn’t just an abstract idea—it includes the fleeting nature of beauty, the temporary security of wealth, and how even ...our proudest accomplishments can lose their luster over time.
Assurance and Faith
The study also offers practical guidance for fighting sin and walking in greater obedience to Christ. Suggestions like regularly fixing our eyes on Jesus, remembering His finished work on the cross, and creating habits of accountability (such as calendar reminders or check-ins with others) are simple yet deeply effective strategies for spiritual growth.
This study guide will help leaders give assurance to their small groups and further them in faith.
I received a media copy of 1, 2, and 3 John: Joyful Certainty and this is my honest review.
Each week is filled with a section of the Bible to read, definitions, and questions to work through. There are areas for application as well as optional areas for further study and suggested prayer. I really liked all of ways I was able to work through these books.
