Our class started with twenty two people and, by the time we finished, we had grown to thirty. This approach generated more interest and discussion than anything else we have done." Rob, Knoxville

"I was leary about how a book of stories could teach the truth of Scripture but it really works. With the excellent leader's material, it really drew the class into the Bible in a powerful new way." Stanley, Colorado Springs

"I have never liked traditional Bible studies very much but this one was special. It made the people of the New Testament come alive more than anything else I have studied." Charlene, New Rochelle 

First Persons by Ronn Kerr is a totally new concept in a Bible study program for adults and older youth. Each of the thirteen weekly lessons evolves around a Biblically-accurate story of a person living in New Testament times who witnessed an event in the life of Jesus. A shepherd boy who was at the birth cave, a magi's apprentice, a wine merchant who saw the baptism of Jesus, the wife of a potter in Nazareth who saw Jesus get thrown out of the synagogue, a fisherman who witnessed the call of Peter, Andrew, James, and John, the wine steward at Cana, the sister of an adulterous woman, the centurian at the cross, and others.

Each story is Biblically-accurate, based on specific Scripture references for study, and filled with detail about life in First Century Palestine as well as a primary focus on Jesus and his teachings and actions.  Students not only learn about the particular event in the life of Jesus, they learn how the people of his time lived and played and worked and worshiped. And, most important, they get more deeply involved in study and discussion of the Biblical text than with traditional Bible studies.

Because the stories are powerful accounts filled with drama, humor and descriptive detail, students really enjoy reading and preparing for class sessions more than with other Biblical studies. In fact, in test classes, the most common response was, "I really enjoyed reading for the class!"  And, even though the colorful and informative First Person's PowerPoint Show with full color PowerPoint Guide add an exciting new dimension to this study, First Persons has been used successfully by thousands of teachers and students using only the Student Books and Leader's Guide without the PowerPoint resources.

Now this popular study is completely downloadable!  The popular downloadable 80-page First Persons Student Book comes in two sizes, a traditional 5.5 x 8.5" booklet and a 8.5 x 11" large print document, both with color covers.  The 104-page 8.5 x 11" First Persons Leader's Guide contains scholarly Biblical background material, leadership suggestions, and creative discussion starters tied to each story.—everything needed for an exciting and meaningful Bible study without the First Persons PowerPoint resources. 

This thirteen-week course is a perfect substitute for those quarters when dated studies like the International Lesson Series just don't work. When that time comes, try First Persons and then return to the dated studies the next quarter.
