Abingdon Women offers enriching and relevant Bible studies for women who want to know and live God’s Word, as well as books that offer inspiration and wisdom for living as a woman of faith. Our studies are designed for women who want serious Bible study combined with practical and personal life application. Offerings include studies of books and characters of the Bible, as well as studies on specific themes and topics. All currently are video based and include a DVD, a participant book or study guide, and a leader guide. From in-depth studies to options with lighter homework, there’s something for every group! Group leaders tell us that they love the shorter video segments (most are approximately 25-30 minutes each, and some are even shorter) and the incredibly useful leader guides packed with full session outlines and other great helps—so much more than a basic discussion guide. Our books are designed for Christian women of all ages and stages of life who are looking for inspiration and encouragement as they navigate the ups and downs of life. From personal faith topics to devotionals and more, our books help women to live in the Word as they live in the world.
In him lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. - Colossians 2:3

Melissa Spoelstra Hello, I‘m Melissa I am madly in love with Jesus and addicted to the study of His Word. I am passionate about knowing Christ and inspiring other women to seek Him by opening our ears to listen to His Spirit, reading His Word curiously, asking questions, exercising good hermeneutics, and clinging tightly to God through the storms of life. As wife to my awesome pastor husband Sean, and mother to four great kids, Zach, Abby, Sara, and Rachel, I am working out my faith on a daily basis. Between sports practices, doctor’s appointments, church stuff, and the minutia of everyday life, I need God’s Word to draw me back to the things of first importance, and I am passionate about helping other women to seek Christ and know Him more intimately through Bible study.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Bible Theology and enjoy teaching God’s Word

Tiffany Bluhm Hello, I‘m Tiffany I’m a wife and mom of two boys via adoption and birth. I lead a growing community women’s ministry in the Pacific Northwest that offers unique Bible study experiences in a local restaurant and retreats in beautiful settings, and I am passionate about helping women come to know their value and purpose because of who Christ is and what He has done in their lives. I share my insights on a womanhood spent chasing after Jesus, gathering precious friends to live a life that matters, and rest that refreshes the soul. I’ve always had a bleeding heart for women. It developed into walking alongside ordinary women from the city to suburbia and beyond, including single mamas, teen mamas, sex industry workers, women in jail, sisters in brothels, and even
mothers living in the slums of Kolkata. I speak regularly at conferences and events in the States and abroad, and write
CHASING AFTER JESUS
for a number of websites, print publications, and popular blogs, including the YouVersion Bible app, Deeply Rooted Magazine, ScaryMommy.com, and my own blog at TiffanyBluhm.com. “Have you ever had your heart broken? Have you ever felt abandoned, unloved? If you have, you will find a friend in these pages. With disarming transparency, Tiffany walks us through her own heartbreak to the glorious realization of this truth: she has never been alone, and neither have we.”

AUTHENTICITY & APPLICATION
Jennifer Cowart Hello, I‘m Jennifer
I am a lover of many things. Most importantly, Jesus! I am also passionately in love with a guy named Jim, my wonderful husband and the father of our two amazing kids – Alyssa and Josh. One of my other loves is God’s Word. Reading, hearing, studying and sharing the Bible has been a passion for me since I was a teenager. Digging into our instruction manual from God and bringing His Word to life is one of the greatest joys of my life. Through speaking and writing my hope is to help connect the dots from scripture to life application–to help people (me included) live their very best life in Christ. In addition to writing and speaking, I serve
as the Executive Pastor at Harvest Church, a United Methodist Congregation in Warner Robins, GA that my husband and I began in 2001. I love the church, and this one in particular. The privilege of partnering with people and doing life together is a blessing. As a Bible teacher and speaker, I hope to bring biblical truth to life through humor, authenticity, and everyday application. My new women’s Bible study Messy People: Life Lessons from Imperfect Biblical Heroes is now available along with the small group studies Jim and I have co-written together. I love to travel. I also love animals. We have two dogs, Sam and Luna, and one beautiful horse, Serenity. Other loves? Ice cream comes to mind – but maybe now I’m sharing more than you want to know.

LIVE WITH COURAGE
Heather M. Dixon Hello, I‘m Heather
I am an author, speaker, wife to the man of my dreams, mother to a sixth-grade hockey player, and I’m also a survivor of Vascular Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, a genetic connective tissue disorder that makes blood vessels, arteries, and organs prone to spontaneous rupture. I understand living with a story that’s not easy. But there’s also this: I love Jesus. And there is still breath in my lungs because God fills them up. The knowledge of human beings says that there is no reason why I should still be here today, but I’ve long-since stopped putting my faith in human beings. God is good and He is faithful; and as long as I’m breathing, that’s what you’ll hear from me. My goal is to equip women for courageous living by helping them trust in God, face their greatest fears, and
choose life, especially when life presents its most difficult circumstances. To do that, I speak and teach at women’s events, blog at TheRescuedLetters.com, serve as a regular contributor for Journey magazine, and write and teach Bible studies. When I am not writing or speaking, I love to make the most of everyday moments such as cooking for my husband and son, brainstorming all the possible ways to organize Legos and superheroes, checking out way too many library books, or unashamedly indulging in my love for all things Disney. I am the author of the Bible study Determined: Living Like Jesus in Every Moment, which will be available in April 2019.
