“Turn. Turn. Turn. It often feels like life is spinning at a dizzying rate. All things ever seem to do is change. And just as soon as we get our footing, the ground shifts under us again. How can we keep our balance in such a disorienting world? 

Through this 8-session Bible study, Hannah Anderson invites us to consider the wisdom of Ecclesiastes afresh as we search for a solid foundation for life under the sun. Together, we’ll learn to name our anxieties, concerns, and disappointments. We’ll discover how Ecclesiastes is more than self-help or good advice—how it frees us to ask the questions that Jesus Himself will eventually answer. And through its raw honesty and unflinching commitment to goodness, we’ll find hope in the One who guides all days under the sun. 

Features:  

• 7 weeks of personal study to complete between 8 weeks of group sessions 
• Call-out boxes for historical and cultural context 
• Tools for understanding wisdom literature and the literary structure of Ecclesiastes 

Benefits:  

• Discover a model for doubt that moves away from despair to faith in God’s faithfulness. 
• Be empowered to voice your frustrations, questions, and fears about life. 
• Experience the freedom that comes from accepting your limits and fixing your eyes on our limitless God. 
• Gain greater knowledge of the book of Ecclesiastes and the genre of wisdom literature.”

“Perhaps no other book of the Bible feels as inaccessible and as intimidating to us as the very last one. The book of Revelation overflows with images and ideas that confound our modern ears. But if all Scripture is God-breathed and profitable, we should assume Revelation is as accessible and helpful as any other book of the Bible. Why don’t we see it that way?   

Two thousand years ago, John’s Revelation was circulated and read aloud among seven churches in Asia Minor. Those who heard the letter understood it and drew encouragement from its message. The same can be true for you today. Over 10 sessions of verse-by-verse Bible study, Jen Wilkin helps you discover how the last book of the Bible—the culmination of God’s great story—speaks both a steadying word of assurance and a strong call to endure to the church in every age.  

Features: 

• Verse-by-verse study of the book of Revelation  
• 10 video teaching sessions unpacking truths found throughout the study and offering additional insights, available via redemption code printed in the Bible study book  
• 9 weeks of personal study featuring illuminating questions to help you focus on and understand Scripture  
• Includes the full text of Revelation  
• Appendix with helps for interpretation and further study 
• Leader helps for group discussion 

Benefits: 

• Learn how to read and understand the language and symbols of apocalyptic writing 
• Move from confused to confident, anxious to assured, and intimidated to inspired as you study the end times  
• Understand Revelation as the culmination of God’s great story  
• Walk through the book verse-by-verse, from start to finish”

Features: 

• Leader helps for group discussion  
• Personal study to be completed between the 10 group sessions  
• Teaching videos, approximately 35–45 minutes, via redemption code printed in the Bible study book

“Christians are supposed to love the Bible, right? They’re supposed to tell Bible stories, explain their beliefs, and recite favorite verses from memory.

But Scripture is sometimes hard to read! It can be complex, boring (yes, you can say that), and difficult to apply. Many of us carry secret shame about how little we read the Bible. We want to grow as Christians, but we don’t know how.

Faith Womack understands those feelings. Growing up in a home where Bible verses were used to control her, she yearned to grow close to God but found the Bible confusing and boring. After a spiritual wakeup in college, she discovered the life-changing power of real Bible study. Free of the spiritual abuses of her past, she has devoted her life to helping readers like you get excited about Bible reading.

In No More Boring Bible Study, you will:

• Learn quick, easy study methods
• Get energized by the story of Scripture
• Grasp new concepts that bring the Bible to life
• Have fun (yes!) doing close study
• Grow closer to God

Learning to read and study the Bible is life-changing. It’s time to free yourself from the guilt of not getting it. Make your Bible study exciting again!”
