Next Bible Study...time to decide

Last night at the women's Bible study we started discussing potential topics/books for our next study. Here are three we are considering. We need to make a decision in the next two weeks, so now's the time to weigh in if you have ideas on a book or a leader.

One option that appealed to several of us is No Other Gods by Kelly Minter. It is an eight-week study that is described to be for young women, but appealed to many of us looking at the little information I had about it. I have ordered a copy of the book and will bring it to church when it arrives. It's designed to be an in-home study with groups of 6 people, so we'd change our approach a bit for it, but that could be a good thing. :-)

Another option is Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World. Clicking on the link will take you to CBD's website where you can see the table of contents as well as the first chapter. I always cringe at titles like this, because I expect Martha to be given a bad rap, but this book is very balanced, and easy to read. I think many of us could learn a lot about balance without ignoring who God created us to be. Some Mary's and some Martha's.

A Woman After God's Own Heart is the third option. Again on CBD's site you can read an excerpt, scan the table of contents, etc. This book looks like it has some great principles that apply to just about every one of us. If we choose this one, we might skip the chapters that are specific to having children or being married -- depending on the make-up of the class. But there seems to be a lot of great information that would apply to all of us.

Please email me, leave a comment here, or grab me at church and let me know if you have a preference or additional thoughts.

Thanks! Cara
