Your children will not even realize they are learning about church history!

Godly Womanhood Bible Study Workbook

Embrace Gods call to womanhood, His Fathers heart for you, and you inheritance as a sister in Gods forever family! Learn to abide and bear fruit! Look at godly women who prayed, served, and befriended their mother-in-laws! Live in undivided devotion to God as a single woman and enjoy married life! Enjoy every season in your life, encouraged in your faith and growing in grace! Lovely to Behold touches on all these principles and more straight from the Word of God. Look up Scripture passages in these 20 lessons and apply them to your daily life! Let Gods Word transform you so that you are lovely to behold!
Each lesson contains a Bible study and a short teaching on the priceless treasure of godly womanhood. Look up the verses and answer the questions from the Scripture passage! The purpose of this study is not to put down what you think, but what the Bible is teaching on the topic! There are a lot of verse and passages to look up, so take your time! Linger in passages where you want to linger. God will show you many things that are not covered in this book as you pray and ask Him for wisdom! He is our Bible teacher and our life coach!
This workbook covers a lot of material. It starts with the very basics with lessons on who you are, why God made you, how He has changed your life! The lessons on abiding take you to the deeper level of walking with Jesus through walking step by step with Him! Health and beauty, courtship, marriage, and the examples of three godly women in the Bible: Ruth, Hannah and Rebekah. We finish up the workbook with singleness, courtship, marriage and seasons of a woman's life.
[If you want to delve deeper into this topic of godly womanhood, continue on with A Wise Woman Builds which covers ministry and leadership topics, including motherhood and hospitality!]
The most important part of this workbook is application to your life! This book can be studied alone or with others. If you study with others, I recommend everyone doing the lessons at home before the Lovely to Behold meeting and choosing parts of the lesson to discuss. There are memory verses and group assignments to help you apply the truth in a fun way that will cause you to remember what you have learned. The abiding project lasts all four weeks. Please memorize the verses (in any version you prefer!)as the Word of God dwells richly in our hearts, we are changed. (226 pages)
Be blessed as you grow more and more lovely to behold, shining brightly for Jesus!
