, 2022

Overview

Though only three chapters long, the Old Testament book of Habakkuk overflows with stories of plagues, violence, and pleas for deliverance. Why does God seemingly allow evil to flourish? And what can Habakkuk’s complaints teach believers today about trusting God in the face of evil?

In this 10-week Bible study for women, Lydia Brownback explores Habakkuk verse by verse, addressing the complex subject of God’s judgment and wrath. Written for individuals or groups, each lesson helps women understand why God allows pain and illness, and how he deals with unrepentant sin. This study also teaches how to wait faithfully for God to answer prayer.
