Each member of your group should have her own book and should complete each lesson on her own before it is discussed in the group. Discussion is effective in helping your group members think through the personal applications of a lesson. Try to keep the discussion focused on the lesson, and encourage all members of the group to participate. As the leader, you need to do little more than ask the questions and allow class members to share their answers. The following answers are provided to help you give details that will allow group members to realize what God reveals about Himself in the Scriptures. To draw the discussion to a close, ask class members to summarize the conclusions that have been reached or to share something from the final application section Let This Mind Be in You.
