Getting it Right—Bible Study Guide aims to instruct those attempting to lead a discipleship training effort in the local congregation. It focuses in on the big issues that leaders must approach properly to ensure that discipleship programs are positive and transformational. Author Dan Day brings a clearly drawn biblical picture of life in the Adventist community and provides study groups with key spiritual growth principles and realistic targets they can reach.
“Spiritual transformation is God’s business. He does for us what we can’t do for ourselves. What He asks of us, while He is performing His miracle of transformation, is to become engaged in the ministry He is accomplishing in the world.” (Page viii)
“Feed my sheep,’ Jesus says to us. ‘Don’t turn inward in your study to become disciples. Instead, see everything that happens as preparation to engage the community in more compelling ways.’” (Page ix)
“On separate cards, write the following questions: Who wrote the book? To whom was it written? Where was it written? When was it written? What was the reason for writing it? Under what circumstances was it written? What insights are provided about the writer or the recipients of the book? What are its main ideas or concepts? What is its central message?” (Page 14)
“It is about how we establish faith in Jesus, how we come to know God’s will for our lives, how we live closer to God in His faith community, and how we become fruitful in our service and outreach to others.” (Page iii)
“It’s one thing to ‘read’ the Bible; and it’s another to actually ‘study’ it. It’s a little like the difference between” (Page 30)
