“The Best Wisdom Psalms Ever” came out today and is our second bible study booklet from Psalms. We hope it matches the popularity of our first one called “The Most Glorious Psalms Ever.”

This new booklet covers:

Psalm 32 — The Path to Forgiveness

Psalm 127 — The Path to Futility

Psalm 1 — The Path to Fruitfulness

Psalm 49 — The Most Macabre Psalm Ever

Psalm 90 — The Second Most Macabre Psalm Ever

This booklet will challenge you to take action and make your life count for the Lord!

I’m excited about book #10. It is called “Eyewitness Gospels!”

So many people wrongly view Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John as mere fairy tales. Nothing could be further from the truth. “Eyewitness Gospels!” will show you exactly why the gospels were written early and by eyewitnesses.

Here are the six chapter titles:

• The Eyewitness Focus of the New Testament
• The Earmarks of Eyewitness Testimony
• Early Matthew, Mark, and Luke!
• Early John!
• Scribal Additions
• Onward to Belief

Our early bird reviewers are loving this little book, saying it gets the apologetics job done without feeling like you are taking a big horse pill.

So, keep your eyes peeled for “Eyewitness Gospels!” It is due out in early 2026.

We’ve been busy at No-Prep getting ready to release four new booklets over the next several months:

• The Best Wisdom Psalms Ever
• What Happens When You Die?
• Is Jesus a Tall Tale?
• Proverbs For Real Life

So hang in there and keep on the lookout for “The Best Wisdom Psalms Ever” later this summer!

I just saw these great tips from the group leader guidelines at New Vision Baptist Church in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Here they are, slightly adapted.

Do:

• Stay positive
• Stay on topic
• Stay on time!
• Encourage participation

Don’t:

• Don’t feel like you must know the answers
• Don’t read the questions word for word–use your own words!
• Don’t talk much more than the average person in your group

Our newest No-Prep book came into the world August 17th!

It is called “Suffering and Evil: Biblical Answers from the Christian Perspective.”

This book features seven lessons:

• The Foundation: God is Good!
• Pillar #1 — Fallen World
• Pillar #2 — Ultimate Hope
• Pillar #3 — Beyond Comprehension
• Pillar #4 — Consequences
• Pillar #5 — Ultimate Justice
• Sharing the Five Pillars

Even though the topic is usually difficult and emotional, I’ve kept the material extremely organized and light enough to not be overbearing.

The big feature in this book is the six memorable phrases that I guarantee you will remember and can use in your own life and in the lives of others.

And of course, like every No-Prep book, we draw every lesson from just a few focal Bible verses. So, even with this difficult topic, these lessons are still in a very real sense Bible study!

Our next three booklets are in process:

• “Suffering and Evil” — release date of July 15th
• “The Greatest Excuses in the Bible” — release date of Oct 15th
• “Origins”– coming in early 2025

I’m excited about all three of these newbies!

Additionally, due to the continued popularity of “Jesus’ Most Popular Parables,” and “Jesus’ Most Challenging Parables,” we are planning a third parable booklet called “Jesus’ Most Provocative Parables.” Look for it in 2026.

Book #7 is due out November 15th!

It is a book organized around King David. Here are the lesson titles:

• David & Goliath
• David & Bathsheba
• David Confesses His Sin
• David & Mephibosheth
• David & His Music

I’m excited about this book! It mixes some strong life-application takeaways in the Bathsheba lesson with some strong covenant theology in the Mephibosheth lesson. Plus, the “David & His Music” lesson will take you on an unusual tour through the Davidic Psalms to see what David spoke about most.

After that, in early 2024, we will release perhaps our most important book ever: “Suffering & Evil: The Five Pillars in a Christian Worldview.”

It is humbling to hear about so many small groups that are trying and enjoying and learning from our booklets in “The No-Prep Bible Study Series.” We promise you many more high-quality booklets over the next few years.

My second parable book came out July 14th–Jesus’ Most Challenging Parables. Feedback has been super positive, especially on the very first lesson: The Pharisee & The Tax Collector. Here’s all the lessons:

• The Pharisee & The Tax Collector
• The Sower
• The Lost Sheep
• The Ten Bridesmaids
• The House Upon The Rock

Honestly, I think this booklet is our most powerful to date!

Here’s how you tell our two parable books apart:

• Jesus’ Most Popular Parables = blue
• Jesus’ Most Challenging Parables = yellow

Coming soon are:

• Lessons from the Life of David (Nov 15th)
• Suffering & Evil: Biblical Answers in a Christian worldview (early 2024)
• Origins (mid 2024)
• The Trinity (late 2024)

Our 5th Bible Study book–“Your Most Valuble Stuff” will be released in mere days. The feedback we are already getting says it might be our most powerful life-changing book yet! Here’s the lesson titles:

• A Very Expensive Palace
• Some Very Expensive Perfume
• Whose Stuff Is It, Anyway?
• Whose Life Is It, Anyway?
• Change Your Moniker, Change Your Life

Look for this purple little Bible Study book on Amazon as always!

Also — Coming this summer is a NEW parable booklet called “Jesus Most Challenging Parables”. Here’s the parables:

• The Pharisee & The Tax Collector
• The Sower
• The Lost Sheep
• The 10 Bridesmaids
• The Two Foundations

Yes, both our blue and red books have been translated into Mandarin and are absolutely free! We have not scrimped on these. They look, feel, and read just like our English books, except of course, they are in Mandarin.

We definitely want to bless the Chinese community with these books and truly expect to see some Mandarin speakers saved!

Just email me at kennybeck99@gmail.com and I’ll get them out to you immediately!
