How can Jesus be the only way?” or “Why would a good God allow pain and suffering?” When our children or friends bring up questions like these, many women feel their hearts sink. These are those TLC The ones that leave us trembling, lost, and confused. So—we either give a flimsy answer, or we change the subject. No more! You no longer have to cringe at questions like "Why should we trust the Bible?" or "Aren't most people good on the inside?" or "How can Hell be just?" In this women's Bible study, questions like these and many others have been thoroughly researched, answered, and ready to be discussed. No worries or stress! There is a “Suggested Answers” section at the back of each book. By the end of the twelfth lesson in this study, women will have a deeper understanding of the gospel, a stronger faith, and a ready answer.
In addition, after each lesson, participants receive a memory verse that correlates with the lesson. Each week, beginning with the book of John, participants fill out a five-day reading chart that guides them through an easy, effective method to develop their own Bible-reading regimen. By the end of this study, participants will not only have answers to those TLC questions, but they will also have an easy system to successfully continue their own Bible study.
I was born in Wichita, KS and grew up in Kansas City. (Go Chiefs)
I became a Christian in 1975 after the death of my three-year-old daughter. My testimony will be in my upcoming book "For the Love of God: A Memoir."
I raised four children during the 80s and 90s, and I home schooled them during a time when parents could go to jail for removing their kids from public schools.
When my youngest was sixteen, I entered college and obtained both a bachelor's and master's degree in Secondary Education. For the next fifteen years, I taught English Language Arts in public high school.
I want to extend my gratitutde to Jacquelyn and Allan for providing me with a copy of their book via Goodreads Giveaways! This book had a very transformative impact on my faith and I enjoyed reading every moment of it!
