A source of last-minute bible studies

Have you ever been under the gun to lead a bible study on a chapter of the Bible and suddenly ran out of time? Looking for a way to compliment the questions and study material from a lackluster study guide you already have? I found an amazing resource at Intervarsity Press. The tricky thing is that the studies are not easy to find through google, nor even through any table of contents at Intervarsity's web site.

But if you type into your browser,
h t t p : / / w w w . i v p r e s s . c o m . / b i b l e / [name of book in lower case],

(removing the spaces, you'll have a pretty good chance of finding an index to a list of chapter-by-chapter studies prepared by Intervarsity for most important books of the bible. I found them to be scholarly, responsible, appropriately thought-provoking, and good for a small group, one-hour setting.

Here are some examples.
