Eight Bible studies for small groups which explore the book of Isaiah.
Part of the Good Book Guides series.
Isaiah can seem intimidating. It's a big book covering an extended timescale, full of unfamiliar names and places, and large sections can feel like alien territory.
But this book is full of good news. Isaiah enlarges our view of God, sharpens our understanding of salvation, and illuminates our Bible reading. It comforts our fears and sorrows, and fuels our vision for the church and its mission. All the time, it points forward to Jesus. This is good news worth shouting about!
This Bible-study guide by pastor and author Tim Chester takes you through the book of Isaiah in a digestible and accessible way. Each study focuses on a key text, helping you to understand the shape of the book and see how its main themes work together. Includes application questions, ideas for prayer, and a full leader's guide. It can be used alongside the more detailed expository guide Isaiah For You.

I love this small group study guide series from The Good Book Company. Christians are regularly told they should spend more time studying God’s Word, but sometimes there’s not a clear plan for how to do this. These study guides provide practical, step-by-step guidance on working through books of the Bible, along with wonderful questions that encourage reflection and application. I hope churches and Christian ministries will take advantage of this wonderful resource.
The aim of the The Good Book Company is to be biblical, relevant and accessible, and nothing embodies that ethos more than their Good Book Guides. Each guide provides a framework for your group to dig into the text of Scripture for itself while providing enough of a steer to keep you on track plus useful pointers towards application. The result is a great combination of fidelity to Scripture and ease of use.
The Good Book Guides are an immensely precious resource for the church. A careful blend of helpful context and clearly-worded, searching questions which aim to help readers to uncover the meaning of the text and apply it in responsible ways. I think these small group studies are the best available and pray that they will continue to prove helpful to local churches across the world!
The content of this study is very helpful, well-thought out, a great resource. Using this for our women's Bible study at an Anglican church. However . . . the small group I lead is mostly 60+ and a number of these women found the small print problematic. I also did! It is frustrating to me that the font size seems to be 9 pt for the paragraph text, and it seems to be less than 100% black. If you Google "is 9 point font readable?" AI suggests not, that printed type should be at least 12 point. Maybe 30 and 40 year olds don't find this problematic, but even with new glasses, this takes away from the joy of the lesson for me. I was able to print the first lesson enlarged from the free link, but not the rest of the guide. Is there a large print version for these guides?
