“Answers in Genesis” by Ken Ham
This dynamic and challenging series upholds the authority of the Bible from its very first verse. In this series, Christians are equipped to stand firm in their faith, and to defend it against the onslaughts of today’s "me" centered, relativistic culture. Discussion topics include: Genesis Relevant Today? Did God Create in Six Literal Days? Why is there Death and Suffering? Is there Really a God? Do the Animals “Evolve”? Where do the “Races” Come From? What is the Only Answer to Racism? Dinosaurs—in the Bible? How can we Raise Godly Children? Fossils and the Flood—What’s the Connection? How can we Evangelize a Secular World?

“A Woman’s Heart: God’s Dwelling Place”
by Beth Moore
Perhaps no Old Testament event so dramatically illustrates God’s persistent desire to relate to His children as the building of the tabernacle in the wilderness. Through the tabernacle, God initiated a deeper relationship with His Chosen People by bringing reconciliation and revealing His glory. And certainly, no Old Testament event so richly prefigures the coming of the true Tabernacle, Jesus Christ. You will be challenged to prepare your heart, like the holy of holies, to become a home for His love and glory — a dwelling place for the Most High God.
“Ruth: Message of Redemption & Revival”
by Nancy Leigh DeMoss
