Anyone who has valued using SEAN material knows how difficult it can be to talk about it to others - without having an hour or so to spare! 'Wouldn't it be good,' thought four users, 'to have a mini-TEE leaflet that would do the job for us?' Well, it's here...
As you might have read about in the January 2001 Forum, the aim has been to make widely available a mini-taste of SEAN material, presented in such a way that the user is taken gently over the ‘hurdle’ of wrongly assuming that this type of material is ‘too simple’ - a common cause of frustration well known to all seasoned SEAN users who all too often feel the need to explain (even excuse!) the apparent simplicity of the learning method BEFORE allowing someone to try it. The intention is that these low cost taster leaflets can be picked up by anyone, anywhere - allowing the leaflets do the job of explaining the methodology AND giving a real taste of how effective and life-changing this way of learning is.
Each set of leaflets, presented in an attractive packet, comprises six student’s leaflets and one leader’s leaflet, encompassing the full cycle of home study, group meeting and practical application - an ideal format, for example, for using in one-off house-group situations.
These small third-A4 colour leaflet flyers, advertising the Do You See This Woman? packs, are available for church welcome desks and bookstall, etc. Let us know if you would like a supply.
This is what the reverse of the flyer says:
Look back at Bible studies you have been to, or led. Have you noticed how much time is spent talking ‘around’ the passage, or its context? Don’t you often follow too many ‘red herrings’? Does everybody grasp the teaching behind the study? And isn’t it a shame that you so quickly run out of time before reaching the real meat!
Do You See This Woman? takes an episode in Luke 7:36-50 and gives the
user a taste of the structured three-part approach used so effectively worldwide
in SEAN’s TEE material and which enables real learning to take place, not
only in the head, but also in the heart. The group study pack provides material
for:
An enjoyable, but highly effective individual learning experience, allowing the passage to be absorbed thoughtfully and thoroughly; prior to the…
Building on what has already been learned in the home study, and taking it further and deeper through structured discussion; finishing with a…
Grounding the whole study – learning for life!
'The Bible has been my constant companion for over 30 years and so, when starting to use SEAN material, I didn’t expect to gain much enlightenment. How wrong I was! I was challenged and encouraged as the framework came into order like the frame of the body – first skeleton, then muscles, sinew and flesh. I now seek more from God’s word than ever before, and I strongly recommend that you try this material, no matter how long or how much you have studied the Bible – we have so much to learn.' - Ray Scott
'Having followed with increasing thankfulness the spread of SEAN materials round the world, I hope very much that more groups will use them in the UK. The introductory study of Luke 7:36-50 (‘Do you see this woman?’) gives an unusually penetrating insight into the meaning and application of this biblical text. I warmly commend it.' - The Revd Dr John Stott
'I first discovered SEAN material as a leader of both enquirer and nurture groups. SEAN (Study by Extension for All Nations) writes TEE (Theological Education by Extension) learning materials which span the needs of new, growing and mature Christians, with the aim of ‘enabling and mobilising God’s people for growth and ministry’. These small group courses fulfil that aim in every way, and they really do work – for anybody, irrespective of educational background – teaching the heart as well as the head! SEAN is one of the UK’s best kept secrets – why?!' - john@profile.uk.net
'When I first started a SEAN course, I am ashamed to admit that I thought it all rather simple. Three lessons later I found myself face on the floor, having to ask God’s forgiveness. The material is presented simply, but is deeply challenging. You must try it!' - Tracey Dare
'After our post-Alpha group had worked through Do You See This Woman? it wasn't a question of 'shall we do a SEAN course?' but rather 'which one shall we do?' We opted for Abundant Life. - SL, Exeter
Already, here in the UK, the taster pack has led to the birth of new SEAN groups. We want www.sean.uk.net (that's here!) to act as a resource for more taster materials and/or one-off Bible studies which encourage new localised TEE programmes. So why not send in some? Perhaps you have a study or course that you would like field-tested? Or just an idea for one? Here's your opportunity to share in the community of TEE users who will value such a resource. Ideas? Comments?
NOTE... SEAN cannot garantee to place every submitted study it receives in this way. However, all studies which are doctrinely sound and reflect thorough preparation will be carefully and prayerfully considered. If you have specific authoring skills, please make yourself known to SEAN.
Here's one to start the ball rolling - Genesis 18 & 22.
