1 Timothy : Discovering Clarity In A World That Can’t Agree
$15.99Add to cartA nine-week inductive Bible study on untangling truth from assumptions and false teaching
Ideas and information travel at the speed of a click, a send, or a share. With so much coming at us all the time, how can we separate the gospel from lies and sound teaching from false prophets? Biblically, how can we examine the texts that confuse us with discernment in order to gain new understanding?
Nearly two thousand years ago, even without the scourge of social media, Paul faced similar problems. False teachers threatened the faith of new believers in a city known for its pagan rites and upside-down gender roles. He wrote this letter to instruct his young protege on how to create order out of the chaos. But despite the timeless truths he shares, some of our own culture has infected his words with confusion and buried hope.
Join Sue Edwards and Rebecca Carrell–two seminary professors of different generations–as they delve into this sometimes-baffling book to unearth the solid foundation we can stand on today. Packed with scholarship and deep theology in an accessible format, 1 Timothy continues the popular Discover Together series in a nine-week study for women of all spiritual maturity levels.

1 And 2 Thessalonians
$15.99Add to cartA trusted Bible teacher mines Paul’s letters to the Thessalonians to offer a vision for what’s to come
Chaotic. Angry. Helpless. How often do we encounter these emotions when we look at the state of the world around us? It’s tempting to despair. What kind of future can we look forward to when the world is so full of turmoil and division? Can the next world be any better?
Instead of turning to the world’s answers to these questions, Sue Edwards invites us to look to Scripture. Though brief, Paul’s letters to the Thessalonians are packed with nuggets of information to help us grasp what life after death will look like for followers of Christ. And it isn’t sitting on clouds playing harps. Rather, it’s dazzling, action-packed, relational, and free from pain and darkness. By focusing on the truths these short letters reveal, we are able to fill our spirits with real anticipation and courage. We can forge ahead, empowered by God’s grace to bless and empower others, knowing the glorious heaven that awaits.
Edwards’s clear style makes her Bible studies easy to understand for both newcomers and seasoned students of the Word. Her inductive approach provides enough direction to keep women on the path to biblical truth yet also asks them to find answers for themselves, an effective combination for a faith that sticks.

Hosea : Discovering God’s Fierce Love
$14.99Add to cartUncovers the personal, deeply emotional nature of God’s love
We’re all familiar with heartbreak. We know what it’s like to be betrayed by someone we love.
What we often forget–or may not even realize–is that God can relate to those feelings. Every time we betray Him, He endures intense heartbreak. Only in God’s case, He doesn’t act on paranoia, distrust, or smothering possessiveness, but rather a righteous jealousy, borne of our duty to reserve our highest devotion for Him alone.
With her newest Bible study, Sue Edwards dives into Hosea’s story. This prophet’s life is a stunning illustration of how God’s fierce love for us can manifest wonders. In Hosea’s time, the nation of Israel needed that lesson–and God used the prophet as a teaching tool. This gifted preacher was commanded by God to marry a prostitute named Gomer, and to return to her again and again after she betrayed him in the most public ways.
Hosea’s fascinating story and sermons will revolutionize every reader’s perspective on life’s circumstances. His example shows how God sometimes responds to our betrayal with tough love that reorients our focus and wakes us up to return to intimate fellowship with Him. But even as Hosea’s marriage demonstrates that the tough love of our heavenly Father can be grueling, it is always in our best interest–and it isn’t His final move. Dig into Hosea and discover the truth of God’s ferocious love and merciful purposes.
