Kathy,
I think that you should just pick a book of the Bible and use the outline provided in the book of faith study guide. I have been promotingf a non-prep Bible study method to try to get people to attend a Bible study. Diane Shallue, Minneapolis
Walk Wink wrote a book titled, "Transforming Bible Studies" a number of years ago. I recently re-read the book and was struck by the chapter on creating questions for adult bible studies. Briefly he suggests reading the biblical text several times and create as many questions as you can think of. Then go to biblical commentaries and other resources and create other questions. Then sort through and evaluate those questions to determine which ones you might use.
