Book Study Guides for Senior Adult Groups

Questions about book studies for senior adults

How do these study guides work for senior adults?

The weekly pace is a suggestion, not a deadline — many groups take two meetings over one week's reading, and the guide still works. Questions are open-ended so members can bring decades of experience to them, and every week prints on paper for people who would rather not read from a screen.

Can we read part of a guide before we pay?

Yes. Week 1 of every guide is free — no card and no account. Three of its discussion questions sit right on the guide's page for anyone to read, and the rest of Week 1 opens as soon as you tell us where to send it. Browse the guides →

What does a guide cost?

Two ways to pay. This Guide Only is $29 once for the book you pick, and never renews. Full Library is $79 a year for every guide in the library — $59 for your first year if you have not bought from us before, through October 31, then it renews at $79 a year unless you cancel. There is a 30-day money-back guarantee on the year (with 2 or fewer guides downloaded) and 7 days on a single guide. See both options →

Can I print the guide or share it with my group?

Yes. Download the guide as a PDF to print for the table, or send your group a read-only link. One membership covers everyone who shows up — there is no per-person fee and no seat limit.

What if the book our group picked isn't in the library yet?

We write it. Tell us the title and the author, and we email you the link as soon as the guide is ready. Full Library includes 3 on-request books a year and $9 for each one after that; This Guide Only covers the single book you name. Ask for a book →

How long does a study take?

The guides listed here run 6 to 17 weeks, one meeting a week, and each week has its own reading, discussion questions, and closing prayer. Groups that meet every other week or take a break for the holidays simply spread the same weeks further apart. Put your meetings on real dates →
