1 Timothy : Discovering Clarity In A World That Can’t Agree
$15.99Add to cartA nine-week inductive Bible study on untangling truth from assumptions and false teaching
Ideas and information travel at the speed of a click, a send, or a share. With so much coming at us all the time, how can we separate the gospel from lies and sound teaching from false prophets? Biblically, how can we examine the texts that confuse us with discernment in order to gain new understanding?
Nearly two thousand years ago, even without the scourge of social media, Paul faced similar problems. False teachers threatened the faith of new believers in a city known for its pagan rites and upside-down gender roles. He wrote this letter to instruct his young protege on how to create order out of the chaos. But despite the timeless truths he shares, some of our own culture has infected his words with confusion and buried hope.
Join Sue Edwards and Rebecca Carrell–two seminary professors of different generations–as they delve into this sometimes-baffling book to unearth the solid foundation we can stand on today. Packed with scholarship and deep theology in an accessible format, 1 Timothy continues the popular Discover Together series in a nine-week study for women of all spiritual maturity levels.

Isaiah : Discovering Assurance Through Prophecies About Your Mighty King
$15.99Add to cartMove from a focus on current circumstances to a trust in a future with King Jesus
It’s not breaking news that the world is in turmoil. Disease, economic issues, global and political unrest–it all combines, threatening to overwhelm us all with despair of ever achieving peace. In addition, many Christians have been told that they are responsible for bringing heaven to earth. They believe that if they can do enough good deeds, they will make life beautiful again.
Sue Edwards argues that this attitude is not only unrealistic, it causes many believers to lose the courage and stamina it takes to follow Christ. The answer to this dilemma–as to so many others–is found in scripture. Isaiah’s prophecies of the coming King are a reminder that it is only when Jesus returns and sets up his kingdom that the promise of true justice and peace on earth will be fulfilled.
Shifting focus to the exciting future and away from unrealistic, impossible expectations of the present frees believers to live with adventurous anticipation and emotional health. It’s good news for a generation of overwhelmed Christians!
With her trademark clarity and impeccable scholarship, Sue Edwards mines Isaiah for the prophecies that ignite a freeing confidence for readers in her latest addition to the popular Discover Together Bible Study series.

1 And 2 Thessalonians
$14.99Add to cartA trusted Bible teacher mines Paul’s letters to the Thessalonians to offer a vision for what’s to come
Chaotic. Angry. Helpless. How often do we encounter these emotions when we look at the state of the world around us? It’s tempting to despair. What kind of future can we look forward to when the world is so full of turmoil and division? Can the next world be any better?
Instead of turning to the world’s answers to these questions, Sue Edwards invites us to look to Scripture. Though brief, Paul’s letters to the Thessalonians are packed with nuggets of information to help us grasp what life after death will look like for followers of Christ. And it isn’t sitting on clouds playing harps. Rather, it’s dazzling, action-packed, relational, and free from pain and darkness. By focusing on the truths these short letters reveal, we are able to fill our spirits with real anticipation and courage. We can forge ahead, empowered by God’s grace to bless and empower others, knowing the glorious heaven that awaits.
Edwards’s clear style makes her Bible studies easy to understand for both newcomers and seasoned students of the Word. Her inductive approach provides enough direction to keep women on the path to biblical truth yet also asks them to find answers for themselves, an effective combination for a faith that sticks.
