Because He Loves Me • by Elyse Fitzpatrick
Believing that a heartfelt desire to live in a godly way flows from recognizing how you’ve been loved and transformed by Christ, Fitzpatrick seeks to help you embrace and apply God’s love in every area of your life. She says most Christians think fondly of Jesus, are sincerely grateful for salvation, and remember his name as a tagline when they pray, but they don’t see his work and life as something to contemplate every moment of every day. When you grasp the truths found in this book they will become not merely your entrance into Christianity but the motivation and basis for growth in your Christian life.

Disciplines for Life: Steps to Spiritual Strength • by C.J. Mahaney
Do you wonder what a devoltional time in God’s Word involves? Are you someone who has devotions but wants them to be more meaningful? Disciplines for Life is a proven eye-opener. Leave the treadmill of spiritual drudgery as you find fresh enthusiasm, renewed passion and increased faith to pursue God via the spiritual disciplines. Take a new look at the disciplines of devotions, prayer, meditation, and fasting—disciplines that will truly enhance and awaken new love for and desire to meet with the Lord.

Ephesians
Would you like to be able to sit down with your Bible and feel more confident reading, understanding, and applying what you are learning to your life? If you are one of many women who feel uncomfortable navigating through the Bible, then this is the study for you. We will look at the book of Ephesians using a read, record, respond method. The tone will be devotional in style with an emphasis on journaling. Themes such as our identity in Christ, unity, living as children of light and putting on the armor of God will be discussed through our one lesson per week format.

Feminine Appeal • by Carolyn Mahaney
Carolyn Mahaney identifies with the challenges facing women in today’s world and meets them with the guidance of God’s Word. The feminine virtues described in Titus 2 have transformed her life and the lives of countless other women. This book will show you the appeal of being a woman who lives for God and helps others do the same. Some of the themes covered include: the delight of loving my husband and children, the safety of self-control, the rewards of kindness and the beauty of submission.

Never Beyond Hope • by J.I. Packer & Carolyn Nystrom
Do you ever get discouraged by your spiritual weaknesses? From the life and death of Samson to Peter’s denial of Jesus, the Bible is filled with stories of people like you who wanted to serve God—but frequently failed. And yet God still used these men and women! At times, through God’s power, their points of weakness even became their greatest strength. In this book, which explores the stories of eight imperfect people portrayed in the Bible, Packer shows you how their struggles and triumphs in following God relate to your own experiences as a disciple. This book will bring comfort and encouragement to those discouraged by their weaknesses.

Stepping Up: A Journey Through the Psalms of Ascent • by Beth Moore
Stepping Up takes an in-depth look at Psalms 120–134. Themes such as unity, joy, gratitude, redemption, repentance, blessings, facing ridicule and others are explored in detail. Modern-day believers can learn much from these treasured Psalms in their journey toward greater intimacy with God.

The Pursuit of God • by A.W. Tozer
In the muddle of everyday life, have you forgotten that Christianity means having a living, vibrant relationship with a personal God? The Pursuit of God reminds and challenges you to renew your relationship with your loving God. In each of the 10 chapters, Tozer explains one aspect of hungering for God and ends with a prayer. Some of the chapter topics are: following hard after God, the blessedness of possessing nothing, apprehending God, meekness, and rest. This book will encourage you to feel more of a connection with the Lord.

Tyranny of the Urgent • by Charles Hummel
Have you ever wished for a thirty hour day? Every week we leave a trail of unfinished tasks. Unanswered letters, unvisited friends, and unread books haunt our waking moments. We desperately need relief. These studies are designed to help you put your life back in order by discovering what is really important. Find out what God’s priorities are for you. Some of the topics that will be addressed are: how to manage your life instead of your time, being open to God’s guidance in small choices, and developing inner time for reflection and planning. If you have too much to do and not enough time to do it, this study is for you.

When Life Throws You a Curve
Often women find themselves in difficult, heart-wrenching situations they never dreamed they would be facing. This study is designed for hurting women who are or have been affected by loved ones struggling with pornography, sexual affairs, drugs, alcohol, etc. This will be an anonymous and confidential group and a safe place to share hurts, learn from and encourage one another, and find support as you walk through dark and confusing days. See how God’s Word can open our hearts and minds to the truth of our situations and provide answers and hope. You don’t have to walk this road alone.
