WOMEN ONLY – In this study based on II Corinthians, Kay examines the anatomy of a heart for God. What it looks like. What it feels like. And how you can strengthen your own relationship with God. Despite the deep physical, emotional and spiritual pain of life, Paul could rest in the God of all comfort and strength. He could walk in obedience to his calling. He could fight the good fight, finish the race, and keep the faith. And now through this compelling, insightful and moving Bible study, so can you.

MARRIED COUPLES – Love & Respect is based on the biblical passage from Ephesians 5:33. Dr. Emerson’s premise is that communication between a husband and wife is often frustrated because of the vastly different ways in which men and women perceive love. Women are wired to need unconditional love and men need to feel unconditionally respected.

“Have nothing to do with godless myths ...; rather train yourself to be godly.” I Timothy 4:7. True disciples pursue their Master. They know that God is watching over their faith, but they also take Scripture’s command seriously: “Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you.” They take pains, by His power, to look more and more like Jesus.

This book will help you to be such a disciple. It examines Jesus’ teaching on what it means to follow Him, helping you become the kind of Christian Jesus wants you to be – not one devised by man or even other Christians.
