I became a Christian during the course of the first Bible study I participated in, Disciple I. Each year since it has been vital for me to study God's word in group settings to reap the benefits of others' perspectives and experience as I learn more about Him. My first church focused exclusively on the Disciple series, and my Bible study group in Colorado (who have been gracious enough to let me continue to keep pace with them across the miles here in PDX) leans heavily on the work of Beth Moore. A local Stumptown congregation has welcomed me as a visiting member of their latest study by Ray Vander Laan. Nancy Groom's brief study From Bondage to Bonding stands out for its thoughtful treatment of
codependency from a sound Biblical perspective for anyone interested in
healing from relational wounds. All the studies are excellent. All require varying levels of commitment. They each have something unique to offer. That being said, here are the studies that have challenged and changed me, listed roughly in the order that I completed them. I hope you find this information helpful. I'm working on adding links to online information about the resources. Please bear with my technologically challenged self in the meantime....
