All I can say is, "Wow!" I learned so much from this "child's" Bible study. It is intended for 7th to 12th graders. I had to adjust a bit for my 4th grader, but in the process, I learned a great deal. We will definitely be doing this study over again, a couple times.
One particular point that really stuck out to me was in the portion of how to get wisdom. The answers seem obvious, reading the Bible, prayer, etc. But Robin points out that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10). You can read your Bible and pray all you want, but if you're not in an attitude of submission to God's will, and have awe and respect for Him, you won't get wisdom.
This has helped me understand why there are some around me that consistently read their Bibles and other Christian books, yet are not enjoying the abundant life that Jesus promised us (John 10:10).
God looks at the heart and cares about our motives. (Psalm 44:21) Reading the Bible can be a work of the flesh for some, but for others it's walking by the Spirit. (Galatians 5)
