Book: Messy People: Life Lessons from Imperfect Biblical Heroes - Women's Bible Study, Participant Workbook; ISBN: 1501863126
***Order your book before first class***
Every life gets messy at times. Sometimes, these messes are literal, like a house that would be easier to condemn than to clean. But sometimes, they are intangible messes such as illness, conflict, depression, abuse, bankruptcy, divorce, and job loss. In this eight-week study, we will dig into the lives of biblical heroes who were messy people just like us but who were used by God in powerful ways. Along the way, we’ll discover that we don’t have to just endure messy lives but can actually learn to thrive with God’s guidance and help. In the hands of God, our messes can become His masterpieces! We will also have the opportunity to get hands-on messy ourselves, as we weave creative and artistic practices into our weekly time together. Experience firsthand how the arts can help us slow down and grow closer to God.
