Job and the Life of Faith: Wisdom for Today's World
by Carol M. Bechtel
The book of Job cuts straight to the heart of what it means to be human. It is the most profound exploration of the life of faith ever written, and wrestles with some of life's most perplexing questions. Why do bad things happen to good people? Is there a correspondence between sin and suffering, obedience and blessing? Why should we serve God if there are no guarantees? |

The Gospel of Mark: Jesus-Powerful, Courageous and Trusting
by Carol J. Miller
In this eight-part study written by Carol J. Miller, the portrait of Jesus we find in Mark is one of a powerful man, confident of this choices, and thoroughly trusting in God even as he faces persecution and ultimately death. Those who struggle in their discipleship are comforted to read in Mark’s gospel how even Jesus’ followers so often fail to understand the dept and breadth of Jesus’ power and authority. Mark’s words are an encouragement to wavering disciples of all the ages to see clearly the path Jesus invites us to follow. |

Amos and Hosea: Boundaries, Tough Love, and Amazing Grace
by George W. Ramsey and Victoria Smit
This study challenges study groups to join the prophets in being boundary-crossers; to cross the boundary between religion and politics, or that boundary between "us" and "them". Amos' and Hosea's message is surely relevant for a society such as ours, divided on issues of theology, politics, economics, government and morality. We need to hear about God's "tough love" and amazing grace, which are extended by the Lord to a people who have often broken the divine heart. |
