Who's it for:
This is a 13 week study is designed for women who would like to invest their Monday mornings to know God and His ways by studying His Word. No prior knowledge is required.
Description of the study:
* What if God could give purpose and meaning to your life- even if you or someone else has really messed it up?
* What if He could show you how to live today - no matter what kind of situation you're in?
* What if He promised to always accept you and stand by you?
If God could do all these things, you'd want to get to know Him better, wouldn't you?
God, Are You There? challenges you to take God at His Word and see for yourself if you can rely on Him. This life changing journey through the Gospel of John is an easy to use "quick-start" if you're new to God's truth in the Bible.
