Twelve Women of the Bible Study Guide

Their stories are not fairytales, their road was not easy, and their examples are not perfect. They lived in times and places quite different than ours. Yet they hold up a mirror to our souls that can help us better understand our own story. And in doing so, we find freedom to come to God as we are, with total transparency—honest and real.  

In this twelve-session small group journey (DVD/video streaming sold separately), taught by six acclaimed Bible teachers—including Lysa TerKeurst—you will meet a group of women in the Bible whose lives teach us about ourselves and about who God is. You and your group will open yourselves to the raw and revealing stories of frailties, struggles, brokenness, and victories of real women from both the Old and New Testaments.

You'll discover lessons from each of these 12 women that will help you:  

• Apply biblical lessons to your own modern-day struggles.
• Persevere through your failures and accept your successes.
• Draw near to God in a world filled with trials.
• Find lasting contentment in every situation.
