The Shelter of God's Promises
By Shelia Walsh

You know God’s promises, but are they for you, are they for now, are they
for this? If you look to your circumstances alone, it may seem that God has
forgotten you. But He hasn’t. He can’t. And He wouldn’t even if He could. God is the only promise maker who is always a promise keeper. And God’s promises will never fail you! Bible teacher and inspiring Women of Faith speaker Sheila Walsh searches Scripture for what God has promised us, what God’s promises mean, and how encounters with Christ are the eternal fulfillment of His unrelenting commitment to us. Through vulnerable
storytelling and powerful, in-depth teaching, Sheila offers a life-changing
study on ten bedrock promises of God, providing the foundation for daily
confidence, joy, hope — and shelter.

Living Beyond Yourself
By Beth Moore

You can know the freedom of a life filled with the fruit of the Spirt. In Living Beyond Yourself noted Bible teacher and author Beth Moore leads an in-depth study of the fruit of the Spirit—living proof that the Spirit of God dwells in us.
Through this study you’ll come to appreciate the supernatural aspects of the fruit and that you cannot grow, learn, or produce the fruit on your own. Beth challenges you to develop the fruit by maintaining an intimate relationship with the Spirit of God. As you walk with God, He develops in you the fruit of the Spirit. A Spirit-filled life truly results in living beyond yourself.

Frappe' with Philippians
By Sandra Glahn

It all started with a woman's prayer group. Its members could not have have imagined the legacy they would leave! The church at Philippi, founded on the prayers of these women, supported Paul, the "Apostle to the Gentiles", throughout his ministry and is recipient of his warmest letter. In this letter to his beloved spiritual family at Philippi-written with joy even as he sat imprisoned, abandoned, and facing possible execution-se see his desire to know Christ and make him known.

Likewise, he longs for his friends to share that vision. Frappe with Philippians takes readers on a journey back to first-century Philippi, bringing them face to face with the Son of God who "emptied Himself" and unites them as a community. In this study, present-day believers get a glimpse of the joy they can experience when the church is united with one focus: seeing humanity's need and making known God's solution in the person of Jesus Christ.

James Mercy Triumphs
By Beth Moore

 

James, Jesus’ own brother, started out as a skeptic. See how one glimpse of the resurrected Savior turned an unbeliever into a disciple. Bible scholars compare James to the prophet Amos. In other ways, James more closely  resembles the Book of Proverbs than any other New Testament book. Topics in this study include: joy, hardship, faith, reversal of fortunes for rich and poor, wisdom, gifts from above, single-mindedness, the dangers of the tongue, humility and prayer.

Duty or Delight: Knowing Where You Stand With God
By Tammie Head

This study will lead you on a journey of taking your relationship with God from a duty to a delight. God is not looking at us to perform for Him. He's looking for us to delight in Him. Many of us hit invisible barriers when we seek the Lord with questions like: Is God happy with me? Does He really love me? Am I doing enough? Why do I feel guilty all the time? Why can't I seem to grow more spiritually?

You will discover the beautiful news that God has not only chosen you for a deep, soul-satisfying relationship but He also constantly supplies everything you need to know Him this way. If you've been longing for a deeper relationship with God, this study is for you!

Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World
By Joanna Weaver

The life of a woman today isn't really all that different from that of Mary and Martha in the New Testament. Like Mary, you long to sit at the Lord's feet . . . but the demands of a busy world just won't leave you alone. Like Martha, you love Jesus and really want to serve him . . . yet you struggle with weariness, resentment, and feelings of inadequacy. Then comes Jesus, right into the midst of your busy Mary/Martha life .  . . and he extends the same invitation he issued long ago to the two sisters of Bethany. Tenderly he invites you to choose "the better part" . . . a joyful life of "living-room" intimacy with him that flows naturally into "kitchen service" for him. How can you make that choice? Weaver shows how all of us -- Marys and Marthas alike -- can draw closer to our Lord, deepening our devotion, strengthening our service, and doing both with less stress and greater joy.

Virtuous Women: Shattering the Superwoman Myth

Does the woman in Proverbs 31 make you feel like a sluggard? For years, Christian women have struggled to understand what the Proverbs 31 woman was all about. Instead of encouragement or instruction, for most, this passage offered "more guilt than eating a one-pound bag of M&Ms." Is this the ideal woman? Or is the Proverbs 31 woman an outdated fixture of the past?

BRAVE ~ Honest Questions Women Ask

This Bible study for women looks at the heart of what women are thinking and feeling. Angela speaks to participants about deep feelings that all women have at one time or another. She looks boldly at some of the fears and struggles of being a woman, and she helps us see how we can be brave in the face of those challenges. It takes a brave woman to ask these questions and dig into these topics alongside other believers. We've all got insecurities, flaws, and struggles that we're afraid to address. But if we can be brave enough to raise the questions, God will answer us. You've got questions. God's got answers. Be brave. Ask. Why can't I get it together? Am I as invisible as I feel? What am I so afraid of?

Me, Myself & Lies: A Thought Closet Makeover
This women's Bible study will encourage us to clean out the junk in our minds and replace hidden negative thoughts with positive truths from God's word. Words are powerful. Especially the words women speak to themselves. All too often, what they say to themselves when they lie in bed at night or look in the mirror in the morning is not even close to the words God wants them to speak to their souls. According to Rothschild, what we think about often has a ripple effect on nearly every area of our lives.
