This Bible study has been designed to remind us why we recognize the six weeks before Holy Week as Lent. Between Ash Wednesday and Palm Sunday there are 40 days--the same number of days that the Israelites scouted in the Promised Land, the same number of years the Israelites wandered in the desert and the same number of days that Jesus spent in the wilderness/desert after His baptism. We can use this time to reflect on all that God has done for us. Some Christians use this time to "give up something" to remind them of what Jesus "gave up" for us on the Cross. You are welcome to give up something important during this time if you'd like. However, it's not necessary. In the next six weeks we'll be looking at some "wilderness" experiences from scripture and comparing them to some of our own so that the next time we feel "lost in a desert" we will be able to draw encouragement and strength from the scriptures in this study. At the end of each study we'll look at what was "given up" (sometimes for the good and sometimes unnecessarily) because of the wilderness experience. While this study was originally written to be used during the Lenten season, you'll find it appropriate for anytime you'd like to learn more about how and why God uses the wilderness times in our life.

Peace . . . everyone wants peace. There is good news! God wants to give us peace. In fact, He sent Jesus expressly for that purpose. That's why Christmas is a season focused on peace. Unfortunately, because of the commercialization of the holiday, it is generally anything but a peaceful season. The parties, gift buying and financial stress are just the beginning of the death of our peace.The 28 daily readings you'll find in this book are short inspirations to help you find Peace as you prepare for the celebration of Christ's birth.

Lynne Modranski has a passion to empower Church Leaders and inspire those striving to grow in Christ, because leaders growing in the likeness of the Almighty and small groups that develop Biblical Christians are essential to the Kingdom of God. These seventy-five short meditations were written with these important people in mind. Based on examples from real life and Lynne Modranski's aha moments, each inspirational reading uses scripture to help leaders focus on Christ and small groups redirect their attention after a day in the world. These two to three-page devotionals remind us that we never stop growing. They ask questions like, What if Martha and Thomas were more faithful than they get credit for? Did even Moses play the blame game? What would happen if I got everything I deserved? Do you travel to Egypt without even knowing it? How can you tie "The Three Little Pigs" into scripture?The book is divided into four sections, Devotions for Church Leaders, Devotions for Small Groups, Devotions Inspired by Songs, and Devotions for Special Seasons; and includes an index to Scripture References. In addition to inspiring followers of Jesus, each message can easily be a sermon starter or springboard for discussion.

They know others' insights can prove valuable as they strive to get closer to Jesus.
