Sowable Word: Helping Ordinary People Learn to Lead Bible Studies

“If you are looking for a simple and practical way to lead group Bible studies more effectively, this is it. Oftentimes, books on Bible study will either focus on the Bible part or group dynamics. In Sowable Word, Peter combines both. Get this book and use it yourself or give it to your small group leaders in your ministry or church. They will be glad you did.”

“Sowable Word is Peter Krol’s great sequel to Knowable Word. Whether you are new to leading a Bible study or an old hand at it, this book will equip you with tools and encourage you with zeal to lead a group into the Word. Sowable Word is well-organized, biblical, thoughtful, seasoned, humble, practical, doable, readable and fresh — what more can you want from a book?”

“Learning to live well in Christian community is the task of every believer. And for that, preparing men and women to assist others in the study of the Bible is essential. I know Peter Krol, and through him, some of the dozens of Bible teachers and small group leaders he has trained over the years. We owe him our thanks for Sowable Word. For in it, the confidence many need to begin leading others in the joyful study of God’s Word can be acquired.”

“Sowable Word is a simple but powerful resource to give us practical help in studying the Word, then preparing and leading bible studies. Any believer who desires to dig deep and share biblical truths with others will benefit greatly from the guidance and skills Peter Krol gives us.”

“If you want to learn how to lead and write your own Bible studies, this book will help you do it. Peter Krol gives an accessible, practical guide for how to create a Bible study that people actually want to attend. The tools he puts forward are simple and effective. A novice leader will learn, and an experienced leader will be refined.”

“So often I hear people referencing a Bible study of which they are a member reading through a book written about the Bible, not the Bible itself. I believe this is because many leaders today feel intimidated by teaching directly from God’s Word for a myriad of reasons. This is exactly why Sowable Word was written and is desperately needed. In it, Peter Krol gives biblical, practical, step-by-step wisdom to every level of Bible study leader. There is not one element of Bible study leadership that is left unconsidered in this thoughtful, easy-to-use guide. It should be on the shelf of every serious leader.”

“Peter Krol is persistent. He wants you and your friends to study the Bible together the most effective way. His website, Knowable Word, is a favorite of mine and I have recommended it and passed along his articles many times. Now, he has gathered up some of his wisdom and persistence about teaching Bible studies into a book to help us do just that, and do it well. Sowable Word?— by all means. Read it and do it.”
