Beth – :
Are the printed handbooks bound so that they lay flat when opened? It does not look like they are spiral bound from the picture. Thanks!
Jordan Smith – :
The handbooks are not spiral-bound, so they don’t lay flat when opened.
Rebecca K – :
Is it really important to follow the plan to do the epistles Bible study first? or would it be ok to do Revelation first? We are studying Revelation in church, so i’d like to do it first if possible. or is it intermingled…
Sonya Shafer – :
The Revelation study is a stand-alone study and can be used any time.
Rebecca K – :
I know- i just wonder if it would mess with the flow of the program to do the Bible studies in reverse..
Sonya Shafer – :
The main reason for the order in which the epistles are studied is chronological; they are studied in the order in which they were written, for the most part. I’m a big believer in uniting church and home study when you have the opportunity, so my leaning would be to do a little rearranging.
