I still have it, but I no longer use it.

Search for Truth was good but not many will commit to 10 weeks of lessons. No one has any free time

We still have the chart...worn, rather heavy and awkward.......but still intact!

I always introduce the study as a topical bible study to explain why we are jumping around and not reading reams and reams of context for each.
And as I said I like to begin by explaining about sin and why we need to be saved.
Not real complicated. Start off with a quick prayer. Ask them to follow along. Keep them involved from time to time by letting them read and ask questions
One very important issue is to remind them that any issues or questions not pertaining to the topic should be held for another time.
Any arguments should be held to after the bible study etc etc
And If they have questions on something that you will later get to, put that off as well. Don't get sidetracked by questions especially ones not pertaining to the topic and ones what will be answered by the end of the study

That is a very important element in (almost) any Bible Study Series. I have stated, from the beginning,
to hold the questions for the first three weeks because they will find most of their questions answered
by that time. Worked out very well.
