Study Guides place special emphasis on:
First Principles of Doctrine
Practical outcomes.
They are designed to help all those for whom Bible Study is new or difficult, and should be especially helpful to anyone with little background knowledge of Scriptures.
The Guides are set out to provide at an early stage an "overview" of passage of Scripture to be studied. The more detailed sections can thus be related to this summary.
Throughout the Guide, whenever individual subjects arise, these are summarized so that they will prove useful for later reference.
This text is supported by illustrations, maps and diagrams to assist an understanding of Scripture.
Finally, though most importantly, Study Guides are designed to lead to the Bible. They should be read alongside, and never instead of the Bible.

The prophet also showed how God's power would ultimately be revealed in the work of the Savior, God's appointed Shepherd - King and to Israel's restoration
