"Jesus is the answer." You've probably seen that on bumper stickers or sung it in church. The perception of Jesus as the divine answerman is appealing: Life has questions, so you go to the Bible, look on the right page, and find the answers - and everything's good. But while that approach might work for algebra class, it doesn't seem to work so well in something called "life."
So what do you do? Take a fresh approach. This study of the gospel of Luke will help you wrestle personally with the often unsettling questions Jesus himself asked.
Life is full of questions, and an honest believer learns how to embrace those questions and build a stronger faith in the process. This fresh new Bible study, filled with provocative anecdotes and excerpts from literature and current events, will help you do just that.

Comments from people who have used this material:
"The readings during the week forced us to think and challenge our faith. The questions were very good. We had a non-believer in our group and she didn't feel out of place going through the study. I would highly recommend the study." - Brent P., London ON
