The Busy Mom's Guide to Wisdom
by Lisa Whelchel

Description: In her down-to-earth style, Lisa Whelchel relates the tried-and-true wisdom of Proverbs to the everyday life of mothering. Fifty-two devotionals, one for each week of the year, share much needed wisdom on topics like worry, discipline, safety, financial planning, and much more. In this insightful book, you'll find the wisdom you need to be the mom you want to be.

This study will be starting January 1st, 2007, however, you can begin this book at any point in the year. Divided into 52 weeks, we will be focusing on one topic a week. This is not set up to be a study, but more as an "accountability" group to be praying for our families and children. You may want to set aside one day during the week to spend with this book, or use it to reflect on throughout the week. You will have to determine where the Lord is leading you.

Questions to talk about (if you choose) will be posted on Sunday, and you'll be able to discuss and share throughout the rest of the week. As already stated, you can join any time and begin at the week we're at, or you can begin at week one and share on the posts already made as you make your way through.

The Power of a Praying Woman Workbook
by Stormie Omartian

Description: Through Scripture and personal examples, Stormie Omartian shows you how to draw closer to God; understand his plan and purpose for your life; receive comfort, help, and strength for everyday living; and learn to pray . . . for your own needs!

The Power of a Praying Woman workbook can be used either with the video curriculum or as a stand-alone study without the curriculum (which is what we'll be doing). Each weekly lesson contains five Bible studies that challenge you to answer thought-provoking questions, find key principles, and make application.

UPDATE:  Because the workbooks have been on backorder, this study is starting January 29th.  Questions to talk about will be posted on Sunday, and you'll be able to discuss and share throughout the rest of the week (as there are things to do daily). We will be doing a chapter a week. This study will go until March 31st (which just happens to be the day before the Clean Heart, Clean Home Challenge begins!). Before we work on our homes, let's take some time to dig deeper as women!

For those of you planning to join, please let us know here! We'll have some introductory discussion as it gets a little closer, but this will give us an idea of how many people will be joining. Also, if you have any questions, please email me, or feel free to ask here!

Spread the word and invite others to join!
Serving HIS Purpose,
