How would you advise?

Here is a bible study you might consider.

i have them start with the new testament.

Second, I would teach the Search for Truth series or something similiar to it.

Then I would teach from What's the Bible all about. Note that some parts of that is trinitiarn and you would need to avoid teaching that, but teaching instead the oneness.

That should get them a good foundation, but the reason I say YOU teach it rather that just give it to them to read and study, is they need new friends and a new invoirnment. The latter two are more time consuming.

I would not recommend a bible study outside the religious beliefs. If you are planning to attend a upc church, just because other denominations do not see things a upc does therefore the bible study would not be any good because you and someone else will not see things the sameway therefore nothing learned...and if you learn something outside the upc teachings might as well hang it up you have no chance of getting into heaven...

um surely you are joking?! IF you are not joking then I will have to STRONGLY but respectfully disagree. You can in no way convince me that every UPC pastor, preacher, evangelists, etc gains biblical education by staying solely within the realms of UPC literature.

Uh Uh - ain't biting.

I for one know 1st hand several preachers who use "Non-UPC" material in preparing for their sermon, message, etc etc...

Well grammer was not my strong suit in school...

look at what esther posted above now why start in the new testament and only learn this in the new testament ::::Then I would teach from What's the Bible all about. Note that some parts of that is trinitiarn and you would need to avoid teaching that, but teaching instead the oneness.

This is the upc believe the same thing I stated if they do seprate bible studies with people that do not believe the same they will know about the trinity and the upc does not teach this also I would start at the front of the bible and work my way to the new testament not jump right into the new testament
