Peter was an ordinary man of his time. He started as a humble, hardworking fisherman. But he ended his life with a lasting legacy that still inspires Christians worldwide today. His path from one to the other wasn't smooth or straight. And there is enormous hope in understanding his rocky, stumbling journey of following Jesus.

In this eight-week Bible study, you will delve into the ways Peter's missteps and failures reveal God's grace. Each chapter begins with a spiritual practice that ties into the week's theme to help you engage your heart in the study. Though Peter lived two thousand years ago, he is proof that if God can use an imperfect life like his, then God can and will use Christians today, despite all those ways you may feel yourselves failing, coming up short, and falling away.

Joseph's life looked charmed from the beginning. He was the favorite son of the favorite wife of Jacob, a wealthy patriarch. And Joseph was given a prophetic dream from God about his family's future. There was no reason to expect anything going wrong--and isn't it simple to have faith when all is well?

But one gift too many, and his ten jealous older brothers had had enough. They sold him into slavery--and kicked off years of Joseph's world spinning out of control. In times of uncertainty, questioning where God is and what he's up to feels reasonable. But through this 8-week study of one remarkable man, you will discover that God is always in control and worthy of our trust, no matter what. Dive into Scripture for new ideas on how you can intentionally engage with God, using the tool kit of spiritual practices and valuable observations of the triumphs and failures of this real man and his real faith.

The life of Moses was an exceptional one. God pursued Moses, calling him to step forward into leadership and miraculous events. Instead of saying no to that invitation, he trusted that God’s plan, however improbable it seemed, was the best way to live. Equipped with that faith, Moses led God’s people out of slavery to the land of promise, changing their entire world.

The truth is we’re not that different. Every day we’re called to follow God’s lead to do things only we can do. Designed for either individual or group study, this first book in the Real People, Real Faith series combines inductive learning with practical spiritual disciplines, taking a new look at old stories to discover their many connections to life today.

At first glance, Esther and Jonah don't have much in common. Esther is an orphan girl, out of place in royal courts, who nonetheless becomes queen and saves her beloved Jewish people. Jonah is a reluctant prophet who ran as hard as he could from God. And when he finally gave in and his efforts eventually saved his enemies, he did nothing but complain.

While Esther and Jonah endured wildly different circumstances and had distinctly singular callings, they were both appointed by God. In this nine-week inductive Bible study, Jodie Niznik invites you to learn that you too are uniquely equipped and called by God for a particular assignment in a specific time and place. Now you stand at a crossroads, and the choice is yours. Will you choose to boldly respond like Esther or will you fight your calling like Jonah?

We live in a world where we are judged by our performance. We often struggle to please God and meet the standards others place on us--or the even higher standards we put on ourselves. But in all our striving, is there any room left for grace?

Grace may be the most misunderstood doctrine of the Christian faith. Delve into Galatians to explore the many ways Paul shows what it really is. Through principles, theological argument, story, pleading, coaxing, and even scolding, Paul shows us the folly of trying to please God in our own strength or by obeying the law. Sue and Jodie unpack what the law is, what its intent was, where legalism can enter and control readers' lives, and how to escape the bonds of guilt, shame, and false standards.

Discover the transformative truth of grace and be set free to live wholly, radically, in and for Christ.
