Praying at the Crossroads Bible Study Book includes printed content for 12 small group sessions, personal study between sessions, applicable Scripture, “How to Use This Study,” tips for leading a group, and interactive prayer guides.
Prayer is essential to our spiritual growth, yet few of us pray as often or as fervently as we would like. We turn to God only in moments of desperation and crisis. God wants us to turn to Him at every moment of our lives.
The Bible is filled with the prayers of God’s people. Many of the prayers come at critical junctures of faith—at crossroads of decision. Scripture shows us multiple examples of people turning to God when there is nowhere else to turn for peace, comfort, guidance, and strength. Looking to these prayers of biblical leaders, we can learn to pray with new commitment and passion.
In this 12-session Bible study, taught by seminary professors and ministry leaders, we will learn that the ancient prayers of Old Testament saints have much to teach us in our present circumstances, whether at a crossroads or on our daily path. Each week’s study features both group and individual prayer guides so that participants can grow in their ability to pray. Together we will learn to call on God not only at crossroads but also in our daily lives.

Ken Coley has spent much of his life carefully studying how to craft transformational Bible study for teenagers. He is a recognized leader in the field. As a gift to the kingdom and to youth ministry, he has consolidated his insights in the new book Teaching for Change. Youth pastors who speak to packed rooms of teenagers, those who weekly lead small-group Bible studies, and those who mentor a teenager one-on-one all will profit from his insights. With the culture crumbling, it is more vital than ever that Bible study leads to change—teenagers who become more conformed to Christ and who join Him in bringing His kingdom on earth. I highly recommend this book to those special leaders committed to the next generation. ~ Dr. Richard Ross
