Read moreIn our hearts, we all want to experience closeness with God. We want to know Him and be known by Him. We long to see Him face to face, hear His voice, and touch His hand. We want to hear Him call us His child, His friend, His beloved. Yet in all of our yearnings, we often miss the simple truth that God is already with us! He is already closer to us than any sister, friend, or other human being could ever be—if only we could have our eyes opened to this reality. In this study, readers will be challenged to come to this reality and see how the Holy Spirit is at work in their lives. They will be challenged to consistently meet with God each day and reveal their true selves to Him—the good, the bad, and the ugly—so they can develop a closer relationship with Him.

Read moreJoy has a way of working its way from the inside out. When our lives are filled with joy, the symptoms are unmistakable. A twinkle in the eye. A ready smile. A skip in the step. A song in the heart. Joy lends a glow to the face and a lilt to the voice. Joy is contagious. It is also the birthright of every believer, but rainy days have a way of distracting us from that fact. In this study, readers will take a careful look at this uniquely Christian characteristic and discover they have every reason to be joyful. They will see that joy is their strength and their song and provides a solid foundation in their hearts.

Read moreGod has given each of us unique talents, skills, and abilities. He has given each of us important strengths that He wants us to use for His glory. But for some reason, we often have trouble embracing that truth! We tend to underestimate our strengths and buy into the lie that our talents aren't good enough or that our skills are not needed.
In Building Your Strengths, you will examine what God says about your unique gifts and how He has given you those abilities to shine for Him. You will take an honest look at your past and consider those events-and even those trials-that have made you a stronger person. You will also see how you can build on the strengths God has given you to better minister to others and grow in your faith in the process!

Read moreWe see love everywhere. It binds husbands and wives, parents and children, brothers and sisters, and close friends. But all the love we experience in this world pales by comparison to the love God has shown to us. This was a love so profound that He "gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish" (John 3:16).
In Experiencing the Love of God, you will look at key passages in Scripture that talk about the divine love that God has for you. You will see how the Bible is really a love story, for God-your Hero-was so determined to be with you that He went to incredible lengths to save you. One day, He will return for you and take you to the home He has prepared! God's love is truly unparalleled, and all He asks is that you receive it!

In Uncovering God's Word, you will explore practical ways to dive into the content of Scripture and apply it to your life. You will examine what the Bible says about itself, why it is important to know it by heart, and how it reveals what is truly important in life.

Read moreThe Bible is filled with stories of people who were directly guided by God. Noah was guided to build an ark. Moses was guided to lead God's people. Mary and Joseph were guided to travel to Egypt to escape King Herod. But how does God guide us today? How do we know what He wants us to do? Is it possible to miss His guidance and mess up His plans?

David was able say this because he had developed a lifestyle of depending on the Lord in every situation-both the good times and the bad. The same is true for us. When we're willing to completely trust our future to God, the relationship we long for with Him deepens, strengthens, and becomes more vibrant.
In Giving God Your Future, you will explore what Scripture has to say about giving everything to God and surrendering to Him. You will examine what the Bible teaches about yielding your will to His and depending solely on His strength. You will discover how you, like Christ, can truly pray, "Not my will, but Yours, be done" (Luke 22:42).

Many of us spend our time placing invisible chains on ourselves and those closest to us. Often without realizing what we are doing, we make our world smaller and we put God in a box. The more we insist on owning and controlling, the less room we leave for God to work in our hearts.

What is your favorite kind of book to read? Most of us find great satisfaction in reading—whether by snuggling down with a great biography, savoring a collection of poetry, or enjoying a mind-bending mystery novel. But have you ever considered that what you’re going to read affects how you read it?...

But have you ever considered that what you’re going to read affects how you read it?
Understanding the different genres or writing styles of the Bible prepares us to get more out of the Scripture every time we read. The Bible is literature. When we know something about the background, purpose, and writing style, we can learn to appreciate God’s message all that much more!
In this unique study, women will explore the genres of writing in the Old and New Testaments, such as law, narrative history, wisdom writings, and epistles. Books of the Bible that may have seemed hard to read or disconnected from our modern world will suddenly come alive in a whole new way. Along the way, we will begin to lay hold of depth and delight of God’s Word—not just as ancient writings, but as a book that is living, active, and more relevant to our daily lives than we ever imagined.

Are our emotions an enemy to be defeated, or a gift to be enjoyed?
Every one of us has been there—torn between conflicting emotions, crushed by grief, or totally overcome with joy. One moment we can be completely happy and the next we can be confused and sad. Are these emotions and feelings something we need to overcome, ignore, or just accept? Wouldn’t life be easier without all the tumultuous feelings we experience?
Throughout Scripture, we see God display many emotions—joy, anger, jealousy, grief. Could it be that we’re emotional beings because we have been made in the image of an emotional God?
Through this study, you will explore twelve Bible passages and characters that expressed raw emotion. You will feel more empowered to handle negative emotions in a healthy way, and you will have a deeper appreciation for emotions in general. You will have confidence that your emotions are not only good, but godly.

Read moreMoving from life as a "nominal" Christian to a vibrate, passionate follower of Christ requires each of us to give everything in our lives to God, complete surrender. Every woman has asked herself, "Do I trust God enough to let Him take the reigns?" This study takes a look at what the Bible says about yielding to God, giving Him your all, and being able to say, "Not my will, but Thine be done."
Reaching an audience across racial, socio-economic, denominational, and age boundaries, these guides will enhance the lives of women as they empower them in their weekly devotions. The study guides can be used for both individual and group settings.
