Spending Time in the Word is a collection of lessons from the bible that can be taught in twenty minutes or less. As a rendition of The Bible Lesson Pocket Book, this is great for small group bible studies, conference call bible studies, Sunday School, and mid-week prayer service. In addition, this is a great resource for ministers and teachers who are always on the go and called upon to teach at the last minute. The lessons contained herein are concise and to the point. Yet, they are still attention grabbing and discussion stimulating. You will find lessons on faith, taking matters into you own hands, steps for finding joy, placement of trust, making up your mind, your spiritual geography, standing in your own way, and dealing with defeat. The author does a great job with getting into the heart of the lesson but yet leaving enough room for the minister and teacher to incorporate his or her personality, knowledge, and experience into the teaching moment. This book is a great jewel for any minister or teacher to have. In addition to being a great teaching resource, this is also a wonderful devotional book. Why wait for a bible study to go through the lessons? The lessons can be simply read any time of the day for meditation and enriching one's personal spiritual journey.
