This is ideal material to use for either one on one discipleship (training) or for a small group. The material is simple and clear to understand, but requires committment of all involved.There are verses to memorize (only 5 over a ten week period), and Bible studies to complete. The program helps to establish regular Bible reading and a daily quiet time.This material tackles the biggest issues of the Christian life, like assurance of salvation, Bible study, resisting temptation, prayer, witnessing, and fellowship.This material should not be confused with a follow up course that teaches a few basics, but is for the believer who is wanting to seriously follow Jesus Christ. It is good stuff!As a pastor of 23 years, it is what I use.
I just completed this first book in the New 2:7 Series with a group of 10 men. The majority of us have been Christians for 5+ years and were looking for something to help us fill in the gaps left by our own self-directed Bible studies. I believe this book was beneficial for most of us, especially with respect to Scripture memory. Speaking from personal experience, Scripture memory has historically been a bear and a frustrating experience. However, the method utilized in the New 2:7 Series made it easier and actually fun. My only caution of this book is that it is very structured and for some people this may pose a major challenge. If you function well under structured Bible study though, this book would suit your Bible study group well in fostering in your spiritual growth whether you are a young or mature disciple of Jesus.
I lead a couple of groups with this book. The Navigators where out of it, and I needed it at once. I am trying to get my church into this program. I took this course over 25 years ago, when it was designed for a 2 year program and loved it. As a new believer, this was the best that could have happened to me. I became rooted in the work and ready to do what God commanded us to do, "Go and make disciples..." This program gets you ready for this, I just regret that it is a one year program now instead of two.Scripture memory, is awsome. The best thing that I ever did. Once I memorized all the verses, (65)they got me through all kinds of issues.It is nice to be able to pull a verse from memory at the right moment of need. This is one of the benefits of this program. You want to establish habits in your life, like daily quiet time, daily prayer, communion with God. This is an excellent tool to get you there.
My wife went through the 2:7 series over three decades ago; and the habits she developed through the study have stayed with her all these years. While many of the same habits were part of my discipleship life-style, going through this study now with others is reinforcing them for both my wife and me. And these habits are now being built into the others who are participating in the study with us. I recommend this study for any small group that is serious about building, or reinforcing, a foundation for lifelong discipleship of Christ.
A great discipleship course in the basics. I took this course myself in 1987 and after that took the leadership training and co-led the course at my church. Currently (2006), I am a volunteer at the local Center for Women's Ministry where I facilitated the class again. From what I've seen, it's the best training out there for a Christian, whether new or old.
Navigators has done a good job of putting the fundamentals of growth as a Christian in one book. We use this series to help us bring everyone in our church up to speed on the basics of living the life of a Christian.The scripture memory sections are very good and the outside sources, included in the text, are excellent additions to the text.My group is just getting ready to start #2 in the series and we cannot wait to get started
my husband and i have done this study and led it several times...it is a great one to use in teaching the basic truths of scripture. Outstanding!
My wife and I started taking this series over 30 years ago, and then continued facilitating it through at least 3 updates with adults and teens with exciting results. The current 3 books are excellent for helping Christians who are either new, or are old, but have been in churches that did not encourage their members to read the bible for themselves, to grow in their relationship with our Lord. This book 1 requires about an hour of homework a week, and it is designed to encourage attendees to start reading their bibles daily. Attendees practice sharing what they have read in the bible with the group, and develop in many other areas as well.
