New Bible study leadership resource
|
 The Alphabet of Errors: How to Teach the Bible Better, a brand new resource written by CBFNC Church Resources Coordinator Rick Jordan, is now available! With over 30 years of teaching experience, Dr. Rick Jordan has learned what works - and what does not - in leading a Bible study.
Using the alphabet, Dr. Jordan itemizes 26 errors common to Bible study teachers, such as the first three chapters on Assumptions, Bullies, and Calling on the Introvert. With humor, humility, and wisdom, the book promises to help the beginning teacher get off to a good start and to help the good teacher become a great teacher.
