Matthew 5-7: How to Be Happy (Six Weeks with the Bible)

We have been doing the Six Weeks with the Bible for about 1 1/2 years. It works well for our group. I would like a little more in depth study but since our group has a wide range of Biblical background, this book really does a great job of being simple enough for Biblical beginners but in depth enough that our more experienced Biblical Students still get plenty out of it. We chose the 6 weeks so that we would not scare Parishioners off with too long of a commitment.Cons: Since it is only 6 weeks, it is more expensive than most studies that cover a far longer class. It is a bit of a pain to reorder books ever 6 weeks. Books usually aren't stocked in great quantities (we need 20) so obtaining them this often is a pain. We do put in 2 weeks in between each class of other type of study, usually a movie that somehow relates to our study.Also, a video presentation would be nice. We use a 20 minute presentation in our class but must go to other series (usually Little Rock Scripture Study) for their videos, which don't always exactly correspond to our study.

Very interesting

Very well written

Excellent series!

Great Bible study material!

I find the questions in this book hard to understand in class teaching. If you are taking a class it would be helpfull if you had The Collegeville Bible Commentary or The Jerome Biblical Commentary. Either of these will help you understand the book.
