Recommended Studies

Recommended Studies:

This is a first pass at a list of recommended studies:

• Most of our weekend messages have study questions for groups.  They can be found on the literature racks in the grand foyer.  They can also be downloaded from the “Watch Messages” section of the ParkviewChurch.com website (Click here to go there).   Once you’re there, click on any message title and then look for Study Guide Download just below the video screen.
• Doing Life Together: This series has become the best selling small group curriculum.  Rick Warren said, “Doing Lifetogether is a breakthrough – It is the first small group curriculum built completely on the purpose driven paradigm.”  Each of the six books includes six sessions.  There is an overview book and one on each of the five biblical purposes.  It is a DVD-driven study.  The DVD for each study features a collection of well known Bible teachers and authors.
• Experiencing Christ Together: This is the follow-up series to Doing Life Together.  Covers a lot of the same ground with a different list of teachers and authors.
• Liquid: Very engaging.  Each of the studies from this partnership between Mariners Church in Southern California and Thomas Nelson Publishers is designed to generate great discussion and application.  Presented in a very contemporary style, each study takes a contemporary look at a biblical teaching.  For example, Mirror Image is a 5 session study that focuses on some of Jesus’ best known parables, but presents them in a way that will open the eyes of your members to aspects of the story that are often overlooked.
• InterActions: This is a topically based series.  Published by Zondervan, you can pick them up from ChristianBook.com for $5.99 each.  There is an extensive list of topics to choose from.  You can take a look at the table of contents and an excerpt from any of them.
• New Community Series: Also from Zondervan, the New Community Series is a pretty extensive collection of book studies (books of the Bible).  If your group is looking for a solid study of a book of the Bible that leads to application…this is a great list to choose from.
