Finding Your Place in God’s Story: 5 Weeks with the Women in Jesus’ Lineage
Ebook
The lineage of Jesus is full of surprising, imperfect people, but perhaps none more than the five women memorialized in Matthew 1. These women are not the expected matriarchs like Eve or Sarah or Rebecca, but the ones with hard, complicated stories. And every one of these women is just like us: resoundingly ordinary, tainted by sin, and yet unexpectedly used to change the world when they found their place in God’s story. In this Get Wisdom Bible study, you are invited into the raw, empowering, astonishing stories of these five women:
- Tamar: A Woman Who Pursues What Is Right
- Rahab: A Woman Who Chooses Growth
- Ruth: A Woman Who Loves Radically
- Bathsheba: A Woman Who Claims Her Voice
- Mary: A Women Who Says Yes
With Teresa Swanstrom Anderson’s trademark warmth and accessibility, this study equips women to study Scripture for themselves and discover how to participate more fully in the story of God.
Features:
- 5-session study with 3 days per session/week
- Complementary teaching videos from the author for small groups, corresponding with each week of the study
- Study can be used anytime, but theme of Jesus' lineage makes it great for use during Advent and Christmas
- Reflection questions and journaling prayer section for each day
- "History Lessons" providing background context
- Guidance on how to study the original languages of Scripture
Teresa’s Bible studies are some of the best on the market. Not only has she found a way to teach biblical truth with profound wisdom, but she does so in such a winsome and relatable way. This resource is a treasure!
Teresa, my pink-haired theologian, I want to hug you for writing these studies. You have shared practical, personal, and challenging ways to make the Bible come alive. When a smart woman chases after the heart of God, we all win.
In a noisy world filled with opinion, it can be difficult to cut through the clutter to find the voice of God and His vision for our lives. Plus, let’s face it . . . the Bible is both intriguing and, at the same time, intimidating. Teresa does a beautiful job of taking us into God’s heart by walking us through His Word. Her guided studies are for any woman who is wrestling with a sense of direction and believing in her worth. By taking us through the Scriptures in a practical, personal, and powerful way, she equips us to own our now and step boldly into our next.
With a relatable voice, Teresa makes studying the Bible approachable for women at any stage of faith. The Get Wisdom Bible Studies are a 360-degree look at God’s Word with historical contexts, word studies, hands-on application, and commentary for each day’s devotion. The studies are timely with varied messages of practicing contentment, trusting God in hard times, and leading the next generation. Teresa is serious about knowing God and how His character changes His people—the reader is not only encouraged to learn but to live the truths in these Bible studies.
Get ready for a Bible study that breaks the mold. Self-proclaimed “Bible nerd” Teresa Swanstrom Anderson has a passion for Scripture that is contagious. But don’t you dare think this is a nerdy approach to study. Her warm and approachable style feels like a conversation with a wise and humble friend. Along the way, she will challenge you to pick up your Bible as she weaves linguistics, history lessons, and personal stories around a passage. I can’t wait to recommend this series to women in our church.
