Description Work for All is a specialised course which covers both unemployment as well as the world of work. It also deals with setting goals and the use of time, all from a biblical perspective. General notes on the course: 1. The course is based on the New International Version of the Bible; all members of the group should use this, for best results. 2. Every member of the group should also have a copy of the study book. 3. The Group Leader should prepare the studies prayerfully, in advance. In mature groups, it is possible to rotate the leadership. 4. Unless the group opts for the accelerated programme described below, all of the 22 studies should be done in the group, one each week. 5. In the alternative accelerated programme, only studies 'C' are done in the group; the corresponding 'A' and 'B' studies are always done the previous week by each student alone, at home, in preparation for the group meeting. This accelerated programme then takes only eight, instead of 22 weeks.
