Description
A 10-Week Study for Women on the Book of Jonah
The story of Jonah is about so much more than a great, man-eating fish. This short Old Testament book is actually a powerful drama about God's power, patience, and relentless grace-showing how God works out his purposes and how nothing can thwart his determination to save. Jonah's story is ultimately the story of Jesus and all believers as they learn to trust God and submit to his revealed word.
In this 10-week Bible study for women, Lydia Brownback explores Jonah verse by verse to help believers understand God's overarching providence, the nature of true repentance, and the wondrous grace of God. Written for individuals or groups, each lesson helps women understand the themes of compassion, mercy, patience, and sovereignty, ultimately encouraging Christians to reject personal comforts and trust God through every circumstance.
10-Week Bible Study for Women: Offers an in-depth, exegetical look at the book of Jonah
Quick, Engaging Weekly Resources: Helpful reading plans, sidebars, timelines, and more to help busy readers get the most out of Scripture
Perfect for Individuals or Small Groups: Includes discussion questions and additional verses for further reading
