I've been wanting to start a Bible study for a while but have been uncertain about doing so until recently. I actually tried to start one up this month but not many could make it because of their busy schedules. Several friends that couldn't go mentioned to me that they still would like to order the book, and that gave me the idea to turn this into an online, interactive study!The book I want us to go through is entitled, "By His Wounds You Are Healed: how the message of Ephesians transforms a woman's identity." I recently read Ms. Alsup's first book and was impressed with how straight forward and logical it was. I've read a variety of Christian books but her style of writing is much different. There's no fluff. It's not experiential (based off her experiences). Instead, she supports everything she writes with verse after verse. This is her second book and comes highly recommended that it be studied in a group since there are several discussion questions in the back.
Just so you get an idea, here is a description of the book taken from Amazon...
This study of Ephesians is for women who have tired of topical women's Bible studies and long to go deeper into the Word. When read in context, Ephesians has much to say to women beyond just the passages traditionally thought to apply to the female gender. The whole book applies, and the extensive good news Paul presents will radically transform how we view ourselves and our daily responsibilities. This study is appropriate for individuals or groups. It is accessible, practical, and easy to read while still dealing with the deep things of the Word.Are you interested? It doesn't matter where you are in the world, through the wonderful invention of Facebook, I have started a private group where we can post amongst ourselves. So here is the 411.
Who? You! or any other lovely lady you think may be interested. Send them a link to this page to give them more details. It doesn't matter where you are in your walk with God. Old Christians and new alike are both invited.
Where? Facebook! After you have ordered the book, you may request to join our private group on facebook.
Why? Because we all have demanding schedules. Let's face it...we all spend a ton of time on facebook, so why not use this free resource to connect us with other sisters in Christ and to grow deeper in our faith.
When? March 12th will be our first day! You should order your book asap. Amazon's 2 day shipping is surprisingly inexpensive too.
How? Purchase Wendy's book here on Amazon. It's only $12. After you've done so, request to join the group here. There will be more instruction how to participate on the actual facebook page. We all be going through the same lessons daily and you can check in daily on the facebook page for new discussions or to share what the Lord has been teaching you.
