That Girl's Bookshelf....40 Minute Bible Studies

What better way to come back than with a giveaway? As you all know, I am really passionate about God's Word and women being Biblically literate. After all, when we see a third-world country teach the women to read, the quality of life gets so much better. What will happen as women learn to be literate in God's Word and hide it in their hearts a little more each day?

Thus the giveaway. I like away-giving, but I needs to get meeself to the post office.

I have a delightful Bible study series I want to share with you. I used to do inductive Bible Studies with Kay Arthur.

(Here is a definition of inductive study for you)

I mean clearly not with Kay Arthur, but rather she wrote them and I did them at CFC in Evansville with a lovely group of women. One morning a week, my friend Kristin and I would pile into the car (sometimes still in our pj pants) and drive with coffee in hand to meet with several women at a Bible study run by an amazing lady named Jan. She was wonderful and had been teaching the inductive method for a really long time. As in probably like before I was born. Kristin and I were the youngest girls in the class, and I started the Bible Study at the time my mom was dying. I was brokenhearted that I couldn't give it my all with all the distractions raging around me. If nothing else, I think God gave me that Bible Study because the women were on their knees for me and Jan was so pastoral to me. I'd like to do another class again someday, but I don't have time to go to an inductive class right now.

So....

How happy am I about the 40-Minute Bible Study Series? If you are like me, you may not have time to go to a class, but these subject-driven Bible studies are designed to help busy women like us and they don't require a class!

Kay Arthur, in case you are unfamiliar with her, is the executive vice president and cofounder of Precept Ministries International and has worked with her teaching staff to create the powerful 40-Minute Bible Studies series. Kay is known around the world as a Bible teacher, author, conference speaker, and host of national radio and television programs. She has a heart for the lord and desperately works to see people be changed by the power of God.

I really enjoy these, especially if someone is trying to have victory in a certain area of life but doesn't know how to begin. The one on forgiveness is really good.
