Empowered and Equipped
Bible Exposition for Women Who Teach the Scriptures
Julia B. Higgins, Jen Wilkin
Summary
In Empowered and Equipped, professor and speaker Julia Higgins outlines simple principles and step-by-step guidance for interpreting, applying, and teaching God's Word with clarity and effectiveness.
“Jesus commissioned disciples to teach the nations, and women of the church must take his call seriously.”
Men and women alike are given the spiritual gift of teaching, yet few resources are designed specifically for women who exposit the Scriptures. In Empowered and Equipped, Julia Higgins steers women through the steps needed to faithfully interpret, apply, and teach a passage of Scripture. By examining both the principles and practices of teaching of Bible exposition, Higgins seeks to prepare women in the local church to make and mold disciples.

In the Beginning - Teen Devotional
God's Story and People in Genesis
Lifeway Students
Summary
In this 12-volume series of monthly devotionals, students will gain a more thorough understanding of key Old Testament and New Testament books of the Bible.
IN THE BEGINNING.
Genesis doesn’t just tell the story of the beginning of the world; in Genesis, we see the dramatic unfolding of the story of God’s plan to save humanity for its own wicked choices. Betrayal, forgiveness, love, hatred, pain, triumph, banishment, and reinstatement: Genesis has it all. In Genesis we find the beginning whispers of the moment when God will triumph over the enemy. Genesis encourages us to look to God when the world around us is unbearable. Most importantly, Genesis holds invaluable truths that help us know who God is, where we come from, and what God calls us to do with our lives. You can’t understand a story without the beginning; Genesis is the beginning of God’s story and your story.

Truth and Love - Teen Devotional
The Timeless Message of 1–3 John
Lifeway Students
Summary
In this 12-volume series of monthly devotionals, students will gain a more thorough understanding of key Old Testament and New Testament books of the Bible.
What is truth?
Amidst the constant claims of your truth, my truth, and nothing but the truth, it can be difficult to know what the truth really is. If we don’t know the truth Himself—that is, Jesus—how are we supposed to love authentically and deeply? The apostle John wrote three letters to answer our questions about truth and love and how they relate to our lives. In words that are loving yet bold, John invites us to strip away the flowery language, the should's, and the supposed to's and move back to the basics: that Jesus is who He claimed to be. The truth is the gospel, and it calls us into the deep, abiding love of our heavenly father. And the truth demands an answer, a bold commitment that we will share it, too.

Ruth - Bible Study Book (Revised & Expanded) with Video Access
Loss, Love, & Legacy
Kelly Minter
Summary
Most of us like a good rags-to-riches story, especially one that includes a bit of intrigue and a moving tale of love.

Most of us like a good rags-to-riches story, especially one that includes a bit of intrigue and a moving tale of love. We can easily get lost in a narrative where, at the beginning of the story, heartache reigned, but it was soon replaced by joy. Perhaps we’re drawn to these tales because they not only provide an escape, but hope. Many of us struggle through seasons of bitterness, tears, and loss, wondering if there could ever be a happy ending to our stories. The story of Ruth affirms that yes, there is hope. However, it's not found in a happy ending scribed by a novelist’s pen, but in the power and protection of a sovereign God who never takes His eyes off of us for even a moment. In this 7-session study from Kelly Minter, we'll examine Ruth's journey of unbearable loss, redeeming love, and divine legacy. We'll see how God proves Himself faithful as the One who rescues, revives, and restores. First released in 2009, this study is now updated with fresh content and new teaching videos ...

Caesar's Lord
Bryan Litfin
Summary
Recently converted to Christianity, Rex left his pagan ways behind to serve the budding Roman church alongside his wife, Flavia, the daughter of a Roman senator. Facing persecution and peril, they must elude scheming enemies to advance the church during some of the biggest events in ancient history.
After more than a decade of tumult, Roman warrior Rex and his aristocratic wife, Flavia, are thankful to the God they serve for the peaceful life they are living in the city of Alexandria. But with the Empire in flux, it cannot last. When Rex is called away to serve Constantine in his fight against Licinius, Flavia's loneliness and longing for a baby lead her down the road of temptation. Perhaps one of Egypt's gods will grant her conception?
As battles rage both within and without, Rex and Flavia will have to rely on God's forgiveness and protection if they are to survive the trials to come. Their adventures sweep them into the great events of the ancient church, including the forging of the Nicene Creed, terrible murders within the imperial family, the quest for the true cross of Christ in Jerusalem, and the end of pagan Rome as a new Christian empire dawns.
Bryan Litfin brings his epic Constantine's Empire series to a thrilling close with this dramatic tale of struggle and redemption.
