Bible Study Books
Over the 50 years since Pray for the Nation started, the monthly Prayer Letters that were printed and sent to people, both here and overseas, contained current affairs with suggestions for prayer, and a Bible Study on various themes related to Prayer, the Christian life, and so on. Often these studies were on a particular theme -- these have been collated into 'books' which were first printed and later put online.
Each Bible Study (chapter) comes from the original Prayer Letters and ends with Questions for study or discussion. They are ideal for personal Bible Study, study with a friend, or in a home group, Bible Study or prayer group. You are welcome to copy and print any of these.
Below is a list of 22 books -- 'Holiness' is not online but is available as a printed book. A few other printed books are also available, indicated by [Online and book], and if you would like a copy, please email ifnz@xtra.co.nz with your name, address, and which books; we will post them to you (free)
Thank you, and may God bless you as you study His Word, the Bible!
