Approaching Jesus

Approaching Jesus, by Cathy Madavan, is a Cover to Cover Lent Bible Study for your small group that gives you an honest and thoughtful look at Jesus through the eyes of the people who approached him in the accounts given in the Gospel of Matthew.

During the forty days in the wilderness, Jesus was tempted and tested but above all He demonstrated a powerful understanding of who He was, and what mattered most to Him. This series is designed to help you learn more about who Jesus is today, and apply it to your own life.

These practical and personal six studies combine honesty with humour in order to take you through the 40 days of Lent. They aim to help you approach Jesus again as you look through the eyes of people who approached Jesus in Matthew's Gospel.

Ideal for individual or group use, each session contains:

Warm up suggestions

Opening and closing prayers

Bible readings

Eye Opener Sections

Contextual Background

Discussion Starters

There is room to make notes in the study guide, which is very useful for individual reflection. The back of the book also contains Leader's notes which will help small groups get the maximum benefit from using these exciting new studies.
