Horizons, the Magazine for Presbyterian Women
Horizons magazine provides information, inspiration and education from the perspectives of women who are committed to Christ, the church and faithful discipleship.

A Bible study is produced every year for individual or small-group study. Written by leading theologians and pastors in the Presbyterian church, it provides contemporary research and background information along with probing questions for what the texts have to say to us today.
