For School Moms:

Discerning the Voice of God  by Maria Shirer

	Studying the Word of God heightens our spiritual senses, to hear the still small voice of God helps us recognize the promptings of the Holy Spirit.  Discerning the Voice of God walks the reader through Scripture that captures the method and tone of God’s communication and teaches the reader to beware of counterfeit voices, how in each encounter God’s voice may differ, but the nature of it does not. Join us each Thursday as we delve into a deeper relationship with our Father.

Living Beyond Yourself: Exploring the Fruit of the Spirit  by Beth Moore

Beth walks participants through each trait listed in the fruit and encourages women to know the freedom of a Spirit-filled life. Through this study participants will look at the supernatural aspects of the fruit and that you cannot grow, learn, or produce the fruit on your own.

 The Practice of godliness  by Jerry Bridges

	What Makes Someone Godly? Scripture tells us that God has given us “everything we need for life and godliness.”  But what makes a Christian godly? In The Practice of Godliness, Jerry Brides examines what it means to grow in Christian character and helps us establish the foundation upon which that character is built.  Bridges opens our eyes to see how character formation affects the way we relate to God, to ourselves, and to others. In order to live godly lives, we need an inward foundation of God-centeredness.  This book will help you establish that foundation ad then build an outward structure of godlikeness.

Heaven by Randy Alcorn

	What will heaven be like?  Randy Alcorn presents a thoroughly biblical answer, based on years of careful study, presented in an engaging, reader-friendly style. His conclusions will surprise readers and stretch their thinking about this important subject.  It is only natural to ask questions about heaven.  However, our understanding of heaven is often limited to a few half-forgotten Sunday school lessons and the insubstantial images provided by popular movies and T.V.  Fortunately, in Heaven Alcorn addresses our most serious questions, including the nature of judgment, and answers a few of our less serious questions as well including the accessibility of café mochas.  We will develop a deeper understanding of our eternal destination and will find the courage to strive for heaven while we’re living on earth.

Reeling from her loss, Micca feared for her future, and struggled to overcome her aching loneliness. Yet in her darkest moment, she discovered God’s remedy for our deepest fears. Micca presents a woman’s guide for living a carefree, worry-free life.
