The Next LIFE Groups Booklet is online and available for order.
This booklet is a is a six lesson survey of the content and message of the Bible. It is a good refresher for all Christians. It would also be a great introduction to Christianity to new believers, or to those who are just beginning to explore the Christian faith. Although it is designed for a small group format, it can be used effectively in one on one or individual studies.
I think the study is a balanced approach (between covenant/dispensational frameworks) which sticks to biblical theology rather than over-systematizing the message and content of Scripture.

Summary in a Sentence
As we conclude our
study of the Bible, it is helpful to try to combine all we have learned so far
in a few short statements. The Bible is God’s
message to us. The major characters are
humanity and God. Humanity was made to
enjoy perfect communion with Him. We
work best that way. But we broke that
perfect relationship and chose a selfish existence instead. God did not leave us in this state. No sooner had we walked away from Him but He
was already promising a rescue plan. We could actually summarize the Bible in
this short phrase: “The Bible is God's
promise to restore eternal communion with all who will believe.”
But what if we
wanted to incorporate the rest of the content we’ve discovered? We would need
to explain how God's rescue plan fulfills God’s promises. This sentence gets close:
The
Bible is
a message from
God proving His greatness by making good on His promise to bring humanity back
to eternal communion with Him...
through His rescue plan:choosing a man,
promising
a family,
making
a nation,
instilling
a world ruler,
and
providing a world Savior,
Jesus
His Son, the perfect Sacrifice
for all
those who trust in His
promise and respond to
His
message
in faith and obedience.
