This seven-session Bible study on Galatians by Timothy Keller will excite Christians about the gospel and help them apply it to every aspect of their lives.
The Galatian church was torn between the view that their efforts saved them and the gospel, which told them that it was Christ's work that mattered. The choice still confronts us today, making this a hugely relevant and exciting book to study.
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:
“Each guide in this series provides a framework for your group to dig into the text of Scripture for itself while providing enough of a steer to keep you on track plus useful pointers towards application. The result is a great combination of fidelity to Scripture and ease of use.” - Tim Chester, Crosslands Training; Author

We're really enjoying this
Several sessions in so not completed, but it's proving really helpful
Our group actually takes two sessions to complete each unit, which is fine because lots of questions are asked and we're digging into the cross references, etc
But for groups which know their Bibles more it would also work well to do each unit in one go
Also good for personal study
Highly recommended

I am only partly way through this little Bible study by Timothy Keller on the book of Galatians, but it has been SO good and I wanted to share.
For those of you who have used Bible Study Fellowship before, the format is very similar…and I think that’s one reason I’m loving it; it feels familiar. You read the passage, answer questions (and maybe look up some cross references etc), and then advance to the personal and application section. At ...the back of the guide there is a “Leader’s Guide” that walks through each question, giving additional info, discussion and insight. Almost like a commentary. I love this too!
If you’re looking for a personal Bible study or a group one, I recommend checking this out!

This is a verse-by-verse study on the book of Galatians. Each of the 7 sessions has the following format as well as a dictionary for some of the key words.
Talkabout: ice breaker for groups or getting your thoughts going if doing alone
Investigate: explore the passage
Apply: practical questions
Explore more: go deeper
Getting Personal: personal reflection
Pray: prayer
There’s a leader’s guide in the second half of the book to facilitate group discussions. There’s also a map at the beginning as well as some context for why to study Galatians.
This is a clear and concise study guide. It offers very little commentary or context, but can be used as a companion to the commentary “Galatians for You”. I do appreciate the separation of these as I can tend to focus more easily on the commentary than the actual verses when they are together. This study allows me to wrestle with Scripture on my own before immediately turning to a commentary. I think this approach helps me to actually learn better than reading the verses with the commentary before approaching the questions.
I enjoy the simplicity to the study guide with how each session is laid out. It can easily be done on its own for individual study, but is also set up to be great for groups. The leader’s guide in the back equips even the most inexperienced leader to do well. These are targeted for adults, but I am even thinking about using them in our homeschooling in our preteen/teen years with the kids.
