When faced with times of crisis or challenge, many people turn to self-help for support. But what about Christians - how can we find strength not merely in self-help but in God's help? A Way through the Wilderness is a five-session course exploring God's promise to comfort his people as they struggle through life's wildernesses. Each session focuses on an aspect of God's comfort, based on Isaiah chapter 40. It contains enough material for 90 minutes and includes:- guidelines and full background notes for leaders;- a passage from Isaiah, translated by Paula Gooder;- inspiring quotations and personal stories;- questions to help course members apply the lessons learned;- ideas for using music in the group and resources to support worship and prayer.With extensive guidance for leaders as well as for group members, this is an inspiring choice for house, cell and Lent groups.
