Son of God: A Bible Study for Women on the Book of Mark (Vol. 1) (Delighting in the Word)

This Bible study workbook is to assist you in studying the first half of the Gospel of Mark in an inductive way. Inductive study is reading the passage in context and asking questions of the text with the purpose of deriving the meaning and significance from the text itself. We do this automatically every day when we read the newspaper, blogs, or even recipes. When we study the Bible inductively we are after the author's original intent; i.e., what the author meant when he wrote the passage to his original audience. In this workbook, you will figure out the meaning by answering a series of questions about the text, paying close attention to the words and context of the passage. After figuring out the meaning of the text, there will be questions to help you apply it to your life. "No clever stories, ancillary anecdotes, or emotional manipulation here. Keri takes us deeper into the text, deeper into the heart of [the biblical author], deeper into the mind of Christ, and deeper into our own hearts]€] a great study to do on your own or with others." -- Kristie Anyabwile "Cruciform Press" "With simple clarity, Keri Folmar guides us in learning to study the Bible]€]Keri encourages us to read God's Word carefully, to understand clearly, and to apply prayerfully]€]she encourages her readers first and foremost to listen well to God's inspired Word." -Kathleen Nielson, author of the Living Word Bible Studies; Director of Women's Initiatives, The Gospel Coalition; and wife of Niel, who served as President of Covenant College, 2002 to 2012. "Keri's Bible study will not only bring the truths of [Scripture] to bear upon your life, but will also train you up for better, more effective study of any book of the Bible with her consistent use of the three questions needed in all good Bible study: Observation, Interpretation, and Application." -Connie Dever, author of The Praise Factory children's ministry curriculum and wife of Mark, senior pastor of Capitol Hill Baptist Church and President of 9Marks. "It is hard to imagine a better inductive Bible study tool than this one. So many study tools wander from the biblical text, but Keri Folmar's study concentrates on what [the biblical author] says... unfolding its message with accuracy and clarity." -Diane Schreiner, wife of SBTS professor, author, and pastor Tom Schreiner and mother of four grown children, has led women's Bible studies for more than 20 years. "Keri is convinced that God is God-centered and that for the sake of our joy, we should be, too]€]She skillfully created these rich resources"€"and not only that, she has put the tools in your hands so you can study God's word for yourself]€]I highly recommend that you embark on these studies with some other ladies. Then you can all watch in amazement at how God gives you contentment in him." -Gloria Furman, pastor's wife in the Middle East, and author of Glimpses of Grace, Treasuring Christ When Your Hands Are Full, and The Pastor's Wife.
