HOW TO USE THE COUR AGE FOR LIFE ™ STUDY BIBLE FOR MEN • A 2 1
BIBLE STUDIES
At the bottom of each Scripture page, you will find a study that guides you through the four basic
steps of inductive Bible study—Pray, Observe, Interpret, and Apply (P-O-I-A)—and encourages you
to apply God’s truth to your life. As you begin each study, you will encounter a prayer that relates to
an important theme of the passage you have just read. We encourage you to read the prayer aloud
as you prepare to do each study.
Before you begin studying the Bible, we want to share with you a little about the ministry of Courage
For Life and how the Seven Steps to COURAGE that you will encounter throughout this Bible came
into being.
About Courage For Life
Courage For Life was founded in 2014 to provide resources that help individuals strengthen their
relationship with the Lord and embrace their God-given courage for life. Our greatest hope is to see
everyone experience the life God intended for them. Therefore, our vision is to multiply those who
live courageously and inspire them to pass it on to others who will also embrace their God-given
Courage For Life!
At Courage For Life, we believe Jesus transforms lives and that anyone can discover the truth about
life, love, themselves, others, and God through the study and application of Scripture. We accept that
the Bible reveals truth, making God’s Word a source of authority for our lives and a unique resource
for all individuals to know God and receive courage from him.
We recognize that God gives courage by strengthening individuals with the truth of his Word and
that he empowers them by the work of the Holy Spirit. We acknowledge that we are all stewards of
our God-given courage. It is our responsibility to offer our abilities, personalities, responsibilities,
resources, giftedness, training, relationships, and experiences—in other words, our entire lives—
back to God for his purposes. Therefore, we, the Courage For Life team and board, and our many volunteers and supporters desire to show all people that they not only have value but also can discover
truth, experience life transformation, and embrace their God-given courage while stewarding these
assets for God’s glory.
About the Seven Steps to COURAGE
The Seven Steps to COURAGE are grounded in biblical principles. When we faithfully implement
these life-changing steps, the exercise produces amazing results. Each step strengthens our courage muscles and, ultimately, brings us into a closer relationship with our heavenly Father. And it’s this
relationship that enables us to walk with courage, live in grace, and find true joy in the miraculous
journey of life.
