As you grow in your confidence at being able to read and interpret God’s Word, having help from women (and men) further along in their Christian walk can definitely be beneficial.īelow are some of my favorite Bible Study guides that I recommend beause they guide you into deeper study of God’s Word. When you’re just getting started studying the Bible, sometimes it helps to have a good Bible study guide. Just please don’t mistake a book with questions about a Christian topic as a Bible study for women.Īnd now that I have sufficiently belabored this point, let’s get to the real point of this post, shall we?ġ0 Bible Studies for Women That Are Worth Doing I love these books, these authors, and these publishers who work hard to provide quality Christian literature. Now, don’t hear me bashing Christian living books. Within the context of this style of study, you’ll address your heart, your insecurities, your food cravings, your tongue, and whatever else you struggle with. It is enough to open the Bible, choose a book to study, ask these five questions about that book before beginning, and then dive in verse-by-verse, chapter-by-chapter until you have covered the entire book. God has given us the Holy Spirit to help us interpret the Scriptures, and through community with one another, we can grow in our understanding of the Bible while rightly applying it in our lives without purchasing a single “Bible study for women.” But ladies, we have to be discerning when we head into a Christian bookstore (or any bookstore) looking for a resource that will help us dig into the Bible. I like a good guide as much as the next person. We don’t have to water down our study of God’s Word with extrabiblical material. I’ve read many of the ones that turned up in the search engine, but they are not Bible studies. I’m growing increasingly frustrated with Christian bookstores marketing to women in such a ridiculous way. Can I just say that “Bible study” should mean that the book actually helps you STUDY the BIBLE? Every single search of “Bible study for women” didn’t turn up Bible studies at all. What I found were books written by women for women on a specific “women’s” issue. I do this for several reasons.įirst, I don’t want to duplicate what someone else has already written, and second, I want to know what it is people are recommending or teaching on a certain topic.įor example, in today’s post I’m sharing some of my favorite Bible studies for women that I think are worth doing.Īs I researched for this post, I kept getting more and more frustrated.
Whenever I write a new post, I always research the web to see what’s already been written on a topic.
