Pew Sisters by Katie Schuermann

Description:

This 12-session Bible study for women goes and tells what God has done in the lives of real women in the church today.

Each session begins with a scripture reading followed by a narrative of an individual woman”s real-life story. Eight study questions, designed for both personal and group study, help the reader apply the reading and narrative to her own life in Christ.

The goal of this study is to encourage and build up the faith of our Christian sisters. Every woman sitting in the pew has a story to share of God’s faithfulness in her life, and women love nothing more than to hear a good story and to delight in the sisterhood of believers.

Foundations 101

Description:

What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus? One of the last instructions that Jesus gave to His Apostles was, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations…” In attempting to make disciples, we oftentimes focus on teaching a person what we might refer to as the Christian disciplines. These are things that Christians do, such as Prayer, Bible Study, Baptism, Church Attendance, Evangelism, Tithing, etc… While these are all good and important, the practice of these things is not the proof of our being a disciple of Jesus. In John 13, Jesus said this, “By this, all men will know that you are My disciples – if you have a love for one another.” This is Jesus’ definition of a true disciple – one who loves. In these classes, we have one primary hope and goal, that you will become fully established, rooted, and grounded in the inward experience and outward expression of God’s love. If you learn nothing else but this, we will consider it a fantastic success! Love is the solid foundation upon which strong, successful lives are built in Christ. This foundational experience of love and thankfulness is the lifestyle that we hope to see established in you.

Friend of Sinners: Why Jesus Cares More About Relationship Than Perfection by Rich Wilkerson Jr.

Description:

Pastor and writer Rich Wilkerson Jr. shine a spotlight on every Christian’s calling to reach the world, seek the lost, and save sinners with Jesus’ scandalous message of the gospel of grace.

The Bible calls Jesus a friend of sinners. What does that mean? In Friend of Sinners, Rich Wilkerson Jr. shows readers the profound implications of the reality that Jesus calls us friends not because of who we are or what we have done, but because of who he is. While he was on earth, he knew that people needed to belong before they would want to behave. He understood that the power within him was greater than the darkness around him, so he loved fearlessly.

By following his example, we can have the same clear conviction and compassion for the loss that he did. His gospel of scandalous grace cannot be overestimated. When we embrace the truth that we all need Jesus equally and when we trust him to bring transformation in people’s hearts, we will walk as Jesus walked, experiencing the glory of God in our own lives and in the lives of those around us.

The Pursuit of God by A.W. Tozer

Description:

“The tragedy is that our eternal welfare depends upon our hearing, and we have trained our ears not to hear.” – A. W. Tozer

For millions of Christians, God is no more real than He is to the non-Christian,” Tozer wrote. “They go through life trying to love an ideal and be loyal to a mere principle.” But Tozer, who spent hours each week praying, said there is hope for those who hunger for and pursue God: “We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God. He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts.

The Pursuit of God is for those who want to know God more — his holiness, his riches, his love — and to worship Him as did the saints of Scripture.

In 10 concise chapters, Tozer explores the “mysterious depths” of God like few authors can with updated language to enhance your understanding. Each chapter concludes with a prayer by Tozer and reflection/discussion questions for personal reflection.

Do you desire to know God? To have inward peace like never before? To see your faith refreshed and renewed? To have your life transformed by a walk with God you didn’t think was possible?
