We all know it's important to study God's word. But sometimes it's hard to know where to start. What's more, a lack of time, emotionally driven approaches, and past frustrations can erode our resolve to keep growing in our knowledge of Scripture. How can we, as Christian women, keep our focus and sustain our passion when reading the Bible?
Women of the Word has helped countless women with a clear and concise plan they can use every time they open their Bible. This book will equip you to engage God's word in a way that trains your mind and transforms your heart.

God is self-existent, self-sufficient, eternal, immutable, omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent, sovereign, infinite, and incomprehensible.
We're not.
And that's a good thing.
Our limitations are by design. We were never meant to be God. But at the root of every sin is our rebellious desire to possess attributes that belong to God alone. Calling us to embrace our limits as a means of glorifying God's limitless power, Jen Wilkin invites us to celebrate the freedom that comes when we rest in letting God be God.
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.

Sometimes we ask What is God's will for my life? when we should really be asking Who should I be? The Bible has an answer: Be like the very image of God.
By exploring ten characteristics of who God is--holy, loving, just, good, merciful, gracious, faithful, patient, truthful, and wise--this book helps us understand who God intends for us to be. Through Christ, the perfect reflection of the image of God, we will discover how God's own attributes impact how we live, leading to freedom and purpose as we follow his will and are conformed to his image.

Christianity isn't about following rules, it's about a relationship. The rise in popularity of this phrase coincides with a growing disinterest and misunderstanding regarding the role of God's life-giving, perfect law in the Christian life. Rather than the source of joy it was intended to be, the law is viewed as an angry god's restrictions for a rebellious people.
In Ten Words to Live By, Jen Wilkin presents a fresh biblical look at the Ten Commandments, showing how they come to bear on our lives today as we seek to love God and others, to live in joyful freedom, and to long for that future day when God will be rightly worshiped for eternity. Learn to see the law of God as a feast for your famished soul, open to anyone who calls on the name of the Lord.
How can we hold onto assurance of our faith? How can we discern the truth from a lie? How can we know God loves us?
In three short letters, the apostle John reminds an early church facing division, deception, and doubt to hold fast to what they know and to live like they believe it. And he reminds us, as well. In this 10-session Bible study on the letters of 1, 2, and 3, John, Jen Wilkin helps you see how two thousand years later, his words call to Christians in similar challenges to recall a great salvation and to abide in the truth.

In His sweeping depiction of kingdom citizenship, Jesus utters some of the most familiar passages in all of Scripture. Most of us have only encountered the Sermon on the Mount in fragments, considering its subdivisions as complete teachings in their own right--a study on blessedness; a reflection on the Lord's Prayer; a discussion of religious devotion, money, ambition, and relationships.
What if we navigated these three chapters in Matthew as they were originally heard? What if we read them as one cohesive, well-ordered message, intended to challenge us to think differently about what it means to be a follower of Jesus?
This 9-session study will give you the opportunity to do just that. Come and learn from Jesus, just as His disciples did. First released in 2014, this study is now updated with new teaching videos from Jen Wilkin.

Tal vez ningún otro libro de la Biblia nos parezca tan inaccesible e intimidante como el último. El libro de Apocalipsis está repleto de imágenes e ideas que desconciertan a nuestros oídos modernos. Pero si toda la Escritura es inspirada por Dios y provechosa, debemos asumir que Apocalipsis es tan accesible y útil como cualquier otro libro de la Biblia. Por qué no lo vemos de esa manera?

Our inheritance through Christ is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading. In 1 Peter, a man of faith and flaws and eyewitness to the life of Christ challenges us to look beyond our current circumstances to a future inheritance. He shares his concerns on big picture issues for the early church, describes believers' true identity in Christ, and ultimately helps readers discover what it means to experience the Living Hope they have in Christ. Key themes of humility, submission, and identity in Christ guide the study of 1 Peter as participants are challenged to read the book in its entirety each week.
In 1 Peter: A Living Hope in Christ, a Jen Wilkin Bible Study kit, you will receive 2 DVDs providing video teaching, downloadable helps for leaders, and one women's Bible study book.

Leader Kit Includes:Blessed be the Lord, who has delivered you. --Exodus 18:10
With that introduction, we enter into the story of the Hebrew people in the book of Exodus. No longer under the protection of their forefather Joseph, the children of Israel became slaves to the Egyptians. But God was raising up a deliverer in Moses, to lead His people from bondage to freedom so they could worship Him.
The exodus of the Israelites shapes our understanding of the whole Bible, its themes reverberating all the way to Revelation. Exodus is the birth narrative of a nation unmistakably guided by the Great Deliverer.
In this 10-session verse-by-verse study of Exodus 1-18, Jen Wilkin shows us that Israel's story is our story: the same God who delivered Israel also delivers all those He loves from slavery to sin and from service to the pharaohs of this world. He lifts our eyes to the promised land He has prepared where we dwell with I AM and worship Him as the one true God. Features:Leader helps to guide questions and discussions within small groups

Video Sessions:
Session 1: Introduction A Going Out (38:01)--In this introduction to the study, Jen walks through the envelope of the book of Exodus, sharing the original context of the book. She also explains how to do the study.
Session 2: A Deliverer Delivered (39:04)--Jen teaches through the first two chapters of Exodus, pointing out themes of deliverance in the stories of the women we see at the beginning of this story. Through their example, we learn to do what is right, to fear God more than others, and how God is the great Deliverer.
Session 3: A Leader Prepared (39:25)--In this session, we see Moses flee from Egypt, get married, and encounter a burning bush. There, Moses encounters the self-existent I AM who gives him a mission to deliver His people from the hands of the Egyptians.
Session 4: Sent Back to Egypt (37:10)--In Exodus 4, armed with a staff and God's promise to teach him what he needs to know, Moses begins his return to Egypt to set God's people free. We see that God has not forgotten His people and that He has a plan to deliver them from their oppressors.
Session 5: Opposition and Unbelief (33:02)--Is God really who He says He is? That is the question the Israelites asked and the question we ask today. This story of deliverance will preach a complete sermon about who God is, and this is the first step in delivering that message.
Session 6: Plagues (45:38)--In this session, Jen teaches through the first nine plagues in the book of Exodus. She shares how the plagues break down the gods of the Egyptians in a sort of de-creation account. This is a demonstration of how God topples our idols in order to show mercy to us.
Session 7: A Final Sign (37:54)--Jen talks through the first Passover and its structure in Scripture. We look at what Passover meant for the Israelitees and Egyptians who experienced it first, as well as what it still means for us today.
Session 8: A People Called Out (43:49)--In this session, the birth narrative of the Israelites continues. Passover is observed and Pharaoh lets the people go, straight toward the Red Sea. Jen teaches how the Red Sea crossing gives God all the glory. We also learn what it means to be born again through parallels in this story to the New Testament covenant in Christ.
Session 9: Provision from Heaven (37:28)--This session finds the Israelites in their first days in the wilderness. Jen draws parallels between their story and Jesus. Just as the Israelites learned to rely on God for provision, we must also learn to rely on the Bread of Life and Living Water--Jesus Christ.
Session 10: To Sinai (37:24)--In the final session of this study, Jen teaches through the Israelites' battle against Amalek and Moses' father-in-law, Jethro's, ideas of leadership. We make it, with the Israelites, to the foot of Mount Sinai. The story is not finished, but now we know Yahweh is the great Deliverer.
The book of Proverbs describes godly wisdom as a path that leads to life and flourishing. It also warns of the folly of worldly wisdom as a path that leads to the grave. Every day we face the choice between the true riches of God's instruction or the fool's gold of earthly pleasures and pursuits. How often do we call to mind the wisdom found in the sayings of Proverbs to shed light on the path before us? How relevant do we even believe these ancient words are to our modern world?
In The Way of Wisdom study, Bible teachers Jen Wilkin, Ruth Chou Simons, Kelly Minter, Adrienne Camp, Elizabeth Woodson, and Courtney Doctor invite you to place your feet firmly on the path of life revealed in the book of Proverbs. As you consider wisdom principles on everyday topics like your words, work, friendships, marriages, parenting, neighborliness, money management, leadership influence, and more, you'll discover the wisdom of Proverbs as an invitation to steadily walk God's way in God's world.
