As an Individual
- Begin with an opening prayer. Each lesson starts with one, and you are welcome to use it.
- Read the lesson as it is laid out, including the cross-references marked in green.
- Record your thoughts, comments, and questions, and share them with Vince.
- To save time when you are alone, tap the blue references and read the verse here. Vince does not recommend that for family or group study. It is better when people look the verse up and read it aloud.
