Written specifically for today's busy women, this book offers user-friendly advice on how to get the most from personal Bible study time. Transform the academic nature of Bible study into a fresh, simple format that will radically change the way you interact with Scripture forever. This great leader's resource can be used with the Modern Girl's Bible Study series or as a tool for discipleship ministry.
As a pastor's wife and popular Bible teacher in one of America's fastest-growing churches, Lake Hills Church, Jen Hatmaker has seen a lot of blank stares when the subject of the Bible is raised. She resides in Texas with her husband and three children.
