The Most Important Thing You’ll Ever Study: A Survey of the Bible
Starr Meade
Crossway, 2010, five volumes plus answer booklet, approximately 200 pp. each, $54.99
Meade begins this five-volume, comprehensive Bible study guide for middle and high school students with four premises: First, God is the main character; second, like any book, each biblical book was written by a human author with a specific purpose; third, unlike any other book, the Bible is inspired by God; fourth, we need the Holy Spirit to enable us to grasp and love the Bible. From Genesis to Revelation, Meade faithfully reinforces these ideas with short passages of explanation and hundreds of questions. From Genesis to Revelation, the student always is led to the Bible to find answers and insight.
I was happy to see adult-level concepts (for example, Hebrew poetic devices) addressed in understandable language in places where issues were raised by the text. This study guide respects the intelligence of teens.
If you desire an engaging, cross-focused, highly interactive walk through of the whole Bible for your teen, invest in this set.
