This Study Guide is meant to be used along with the book, The Face of Jesus. This study guide is for churches, book clubs, and others who want to study and discuss the encounters in The Face of Jesus, and more deeply understand their own personal encounters with Christ. The book is written, more or less, in chronological order. This guide has broken down the chapters by category; therefore, does not follow the book, chapter by chapter. It’s meant to help readers put themselves in various roles when encountering Jesus. Whether you are male or female, I ask you to put yourself in the position of the disciples and of the women who encountered Jesus. Whether you consider yourself rich and powerful, or one of the marginalized, or perhaps even both, I ask you to consider what those who saw the Face of Jesus felt. To get the most out of this study guide, I suggest you read the entire book first, and then go back and read the chapters in the groups shown in the study guide. Answer the questions on your own, and then discuss in a group your answers. And listen with an open heart to the views of the others in your group. Discussion at this level is best help in groups of from four to eight, so if you have a large group, you may want to form breakout groups and then have each group summarize their discussion for the entire group. You can switch the breakout groups for each lesson, affording each member of the larger group a wide array of thoughts and insights. Of course, you can use the guide for self-study as well.
