  Stepping Stones: God's Unfolding Plan of Salvation

  Rita Usher; Melanie Story

  Giving a fresh and new approach to Bible study

  Stepping Stones is an evangelistic study and an effective resource for small-group leaders working in outreach ministry settings. This easy to read

  step-by-step study offers interactive discussions about scripture

  life application points

  and downloadable student-handout resources to help your participants see how the Bible is leading us toward the Chief Cornerstone

  Jesus Christ. \n\nWhen writing this study

  leaders of the outreach ministry Christian Women’s Job Corps continually asked the question

  “What does a person need to know to be saved?” \n\nThis 20-lesson outline

  with optional lessons and content

  will help you teach the gospel in such a way that all people

  from various backgrounds will be forever transformed in Christ. It will help you lay the foundation for the gospel and demonstrate how each person is special to God.\n
