A meaningful encounter with Jesus and the Psalms through the season of Lent with Barb Roose.

Barb Roose guides the reader through a meaningful encounter with the Psalms through the season of Lent. Combining an interpretation of the psalms with real life stories, the study moves through the familiar words of Psalm 23 toward the painful cries of Psalm 22 uttered by Jesus on the cross. The study includes reflections on the life of King David and the original context of the writings, along with connections between the psalms and the life and death of Jesus the Messiah.

“The Psalms provide a perfect framework for experiencing Lent through the verses that were Jesus’s own scriptures, offering both him and us strength and wisdom in a painful and redemptive season. The Book of Psalms hums with the heartbeat of our humanity with divinely inspired words that find purchase in the tenderest places in our hearts when our human words or wisdom fails us.” Barb Roose

Additional components to use the book as a six-week study include a leader guide and DVD/Video Sessions featuring Barb Roose.

Endorsements
When I am in those hard places, those needy places, those places where I need to see God’s tenderness, I always turn to the Psalms. Barb Roose has written an insightful and personal guide in Finding Jesus in the Psalms that shows how we can find a very New Testament Jesus throughout this Old Testament book in a way that our human, aching hearts so desperately need. I will be coming back again and again to this beautiful guide. —Kathi Lipp, best-selling author, and podcaster

Finding Jesus in the Psalms is a beautiful celebration of God\'s poetry and his gift to us, his Son, Jesus. Barb Roose has captured the essence of the Poet\'s message and provided deep insight into the path of Jesus that was blazed right through the middle of it all. This book will bless you by bringing you closer to the Lord, whether during the Lenten season or at any time of the year.  —Kathleen Y\'Barbo, Publishers Weekly best-selling author of The Black Midnight

Barb Roose helps us to see Jesus in the Psalms through this book. Most of the time, we only look for Jesus in the New Testament, but she shows us how Jesus was always present and God is always pointing us to Him. —Cindy Casey, Next Steps Director, CedarCreek Church

Let go of feeling like you are not a “good enough” Christian and find freedom in Christ by studying Paul’s letter to the Galatians in Breakthrough by Barb Roose.

Have you ever felt that being a good Christian means you’ve got to follow a bunch of rules and measure up?

If so, you aren’t alone! In this six-week Bible study of Galatians, Barb Roose shows us that even the believers in the early church struggled to let go of rule-keeping and performance in order to embrace God’s free gift of grace.

In his letter to the Galatians, Paul pours out his heart and faith to set them straight, addressing so many of the same questions and problems we still face today, such as…

  • Who has led you to believe you have to follow rules and “measure up”?
  • Why do you think you have to be perfect for God?
  • Does God only show up or love you when you “get it right”?

If you’ve ever struggled with these questions or felt trapped by rules or religion, this study will provide a path to discover your freedom in Christ.

Through this study women will learn to:

  • Stop trying to measure up and embrace God’s grace
  • Distinguish between lies and truth
  • Embrace God’s promise of freedom

Components for this six-week Bible study, each available separately, include a Participant Workbook, a Leader Guide, and video sessions with six 25-minute segments (with closed captioning).

Surrendered: Letting Go and Living Like Jesus

Learn How to Surrender Like Jesus.

Are you facing a problem in life that you just can\'t fix, no matter what you do? Perhaps you\'ve heard the phrase "Let go and let God." But it\'s easier said than done. Is it possible that giving up on what you can\'t change is God\'s path to peace for your life? In this six-week Bible study of Jesus in the wilderness, Barb explores Jesus\' time of testing and contrasts it with the Israelites\' failures in the wilderness.

As you learn from Jesus\' example, you\'ll discover six principles that will equip you to let God lead you to victory despite your circumstances as you deal with the problems and pain you are facing:

 1. Recognize You Can’t Handle It
 2. Stop Following Your Feelings
 3. Give Up Control and Reach for God
 4. Embrace God’s Better Blessing
 5. Let Go of Fear
 6. Experience the Blessings of a Surrendered Life

If you\'re tired of following your feelings or being disappointed by unchanging circumstances, learn how to surrender like Jesus and experience God\'s power and peace in your life as never before.

Other components for the Bible study, available separately, include a Leader Guide, DVD, or streaming video content.

Praise for Surrendered

Surrendered is the antidote for women like me who struggle with the dreaded c-word, control. Through
rich biblical teaching, vulnerable personal stories, and gentle (but insistent) beckoning, Barb Roose leads
us to a new place of freedom through trust in God. Finally . . . we can learn to release our white-knuckled
grip and rest.
—Amy Carroll, Proverbs 31 Ministries speaker and writer, author of Breaking Up with Perfect
and Exhale

Barb’s surrender principles free us from the need to control others and from anger or frustration over life’s
disappointing and hurtful circumstances. As a Bible study teacher, I highly recommend this study.
— Janet Holm McHenry, best-selling author of twenty-four books including Prayer-
Walk
and The Compete Guide to the Prayers of Jesus

This study is full of transformative principles to free you from the grip of control. Whether you are tempted
to flee difficult circumstances, fix outcomes, or force your way forward, Barb lays out a clear path to
experience God’s lasting peace, power, and provision as you live surrendered to Him.
— Katie M. Reid, author of Made Like Martha, Bible teacher, and host of The Martha + Mary
Show podcast

In this study, you’ll be learning from a friend who is familiar with the painful parts of life and a guide who
has traveled the hard road of surrender. She won’t lead you astray; she’ll lead you straight to the heart
of God.
—Tiffany Bluhm, speaker, podcaster, and author of She Dreams

Find help and hope for times when it\'s hard to wait on God

Do you ever feel like God is taking too long to answer your prayers? Have you ever taken matters into your own hands, only to discover that you’ve made the situation worse?

Waiting on God challenges our faith when the bills are stacking up, our families are falling apart, or our dreams feel like they won\'t come true. We know that God hears our prayers, but it’s hard when the clock is ticking yet He hasn’t shown us the answer.

In this four-week Bible study, Barb Roose invites us to explore the stories of women in the Bible who had to wait on God— women such as Hannah, Ruth, Tamar, and the unnamed woman who suffered for over a decade with a painful medical condition. If you’ve felt anxious, angry, discouraged or depressed because God isn’t giving you what you want, their stories will breathe fresh hope and practical next steps in your life. As a reforming control lover, Barb mixes in her personal stories of learning how to wait for God during long seasons of unanswered prayers, family difficulties, and challenging times in ministry. Together we will discover that there is goodness and blessing to be found in times of waiting, including a closer relationship with God than we’ve ever dared to dream.

Other components for the Bible study, available separately, include a DVD.

Bible Study Features:

  • A shorter four-week study is ideal for in-between or busy times.
  • Accessible and friendly format.
  • Each week concludes with a devotional lesson featuring prayer journaling, helping women create “memorial stones” during a waiting season.

Have you ever tried to fight worry with faith and felt you were losing the battle? Have comments like “God’s got this!” or “Just pray about it” only left you feeling more burdened? We know we shouldn’t worry, but the reality is that we all do at times. Whether it’s personal worries about loved ones and daily circumstances or broader concerns about what’s happening in the world, we long for something more than platitudes that will help us put real feet to our faith and win the worry battle.

In this six-week Bible study on the Book of Joshua, we will join God’s people as they arrive on the edge of the promised land only to find themselves in hostile territory, faced with fear and uncertainty. As we dig into the story of how Joshua and the Israelites claimed God’s promised victory, we’ll discover that winning the worry battle requires more than having faith; it requires learning to fight in faith! Following their bold, courageous footprints, we’ll learn how to fight in faith as we internalize God’s promises, draw strength from God’s faithfulness, act in obedience to God’s commands, and believe what our limitless God can do. Through in-depth study of how God gave the Israelites victory over their enemies and generously blessed them, too, we’ll be equipped with biblical wisdom, encouragement, and practical tools that will enable us to overcome our daily worry struggles as well as the bigger battles of fear that we face.

“I’m so fat.” “I don’t like my nose.” “I wish I was taller.” Our dissatisfaction with what we see in the mirror is what Barb Roose calls our ugly struggle with beauty. It’s a struggle that negatively affects not only our self-image and self-esteem but also our relationships with God and others. What is the answer? We desperately need to regain God\'s perspective on beauty.

During this six-week Bible study, women will unpack the beliefs or experiences that are holding them hostage. Together they will explore God\'s truth about beauty throughout the Scriptures, digging into passages in both the Old and New Testaments and applying the truths in their lives. They will move away from over-focusing on unrealistic expectations and perceived flaws toward God’s viewpoint of their hearts, minds, bodies and souls. As women make this journey, they will:

  • Be set free from the trap of comparison and self-ridicule

  • Become comfortable in their own skin

  • Reach beyond themselves to encourage and support other women

By learning to see the goodness, blessing, and purpose for their bodies no matter their size, shape, or style, women will overcome discontent and comparison and learn to live fully as the beautifully unique creations God designed them to be.

The participant workbook includes five days of lessons for each week, combining study of Scripture with personal reflection, application, and prayer.

Other components for the Bible study, available separately, include a Leader Guide, DVD with six 19-28 minute sessions, and boxed Leader Kit (an all-inclusive box containing one copy of each of the Bible study’s components).

Are you facing a problem in life that you just can\'t fix, no matter what you do? Perhaps you\'ve heard the phrase "Let go and let God." But it\'s easier said than done. Is it possible that giving up on what you can\'t change is God\'s path to peace for your life? In this six-week Bible study of Jesus in the wilderness, Barb explores Jesus\' time of testing and contrasts it with the Israelites\' failures in the wilderness. As you learn from Jesus\' example, you\'ll discover six principles that will equip you to let God lead you to victory despite your circumstances as you deal with the problems and pain you are facing:

1. Recognize You Can’t Handle It
2. Stop Following Your Feelings
3. Give Up Control and Reach for God
4. Embrace God’s Better Blessing
5. Let Go of Fear
6. Experience the Blessings of a Surrendered Life

If you\'re tired of following your feelings or being disappointed by unchanging circumstances, learn how to surrender like Jesus and experience God\'s power and peace in your life as never before.

Other components for the Bible study, available separately, include a Participant Workbook and Leader Guide.

Bible Study Features:

A six-week study of Jesus in the wilderness.
Helps women find the path of peace through genuine surrender, following the example of Jesus.
Workbook includes five lessons for every week of study.
DVD features dynamic, engaging teaching in six 20-minute segments.


In Session 1, Barb reminds us that although we may not be in control of others or outcomes, we can be assured that God always loves us and is for us. She presents five SHINE behaviors that we turn to when we become impatient as well as three ABCs for surviving circumstances that we can’t control.

In the wilderness, we can face big feelings that tempt us to take control. In Session 2, Barb encourages us to choose to live by faith rather than rush to follow our feelings, reminding us that we have the power of the Holy Spirit to strengthen us against temptation and help us trust God’s promises and follow His priorities for our lives.

Session 3 explores what happens when we get frustrated over our circumstances and try to force our way, rather than trusting God to make a way. Barb reminds us that God gives us a beautiful invitation to let go of trying to fix or force and instead follow Him toward His best, which will always bless us in every way.

In Session 4, we’re reminded that pursuing what we want or expect in life will always leave our souls in great need. We will never find happiness in power, people, places, or things. Barb offers us this memorable surrender principle: “Trusting God’s promises will bless me, but pushing my plans will stress me.”

In Session 5 we see that Jesus came to earth to show us what it looks like to bring Gods power and promises into the most difficult situations in life. We are overcomers because Jesus overcame on our behalf. Barb encourages us that even in a long wilderness season, we can stand strong and walk in victory because Jesus has already won that victory for us.

In Session 6, Barb uses the Japanese art of kintsukuroi to show that the surrendered life is not about perfection. It’s more like a priceless piece of artwork that God creates from the broken pieces and devastated ashes of our lives. There will always be circumstances out of our control, but surrender is our only path to God’s power, peace, and provision.', 'series_primary' => 'No', 'alternative_name' => 'Video-DVD', 'subtitle' => 'Letting Go and Living Like Jesus', 'title_category' => array ( 0 => array ( '_display' => 'Surrendered', '_id' => '5d66becbc203ad2ca565fd6e', ), ), 'parent_isbn' => array ( ), 'book' => 'No', 'publication_date' => MongoDate::__set_state(array( 'sec' => 1585717200, 'usec' => 0, )), 'title' => 'Surrendered - Women\'s Bible Study DVD', 'akamai_image_path' => '323/9781501896323.jpg', 'retailers' => array ( 0 => array ( '_id' => '57bc51474c5b61ac7de4f8ea', '_display' => 'Amazon', ), 1 => array ( '_id' => '57bc52aa4c5b61ad7de4f8e8', '_display' => 'BAM', ), 2 => array ( '_id' => '57bdf1d34c5b61fb493ba4cb', '_display' => 'Barnes & Noble', ), 3 => array ( '_id' => '57bdf2c24c5b61ee493ba4cd', '_display' => 'Christianbook.com', ), 4 => array ( '_id' => '57bdf31c4c5b61ea493ba4cc', '_display' => 'Cokesbury', ), 5 => array ( '_id' => '5ed1233f1280b12c756e5c19', '_display' => 'Bookshop.org', ), 6 => array ( '_id' => '5ed123c1ae7c30836ef899e1', '_display' => 'Get It Local.

Have you ever felt that being a good Christian means you’ve got to follow a bunch of rules and measure up?

If so, you aren’t alone! In this six-week Bible study of Galatians, Barb Roose shows us that even the believers in the early church struggled to let go of rule-keeping and performance in order to embrace God’s free gift of grace.

In his letter to the Galatians, Paul pours out his heart and faith to set them straight, addressing so many of the same questions and problems we still face today, such as…

- Who has led you to believe you have to follow rules to be right with God?
- Why do you think you have to try to be perfect for God?
- How do we stay free in Christ?

If you’ve ever struggled with these questions or felt trapped by rules or religion, this study will provide a path to discover your freedom in Christ.

Through this study women will learn to:

- Stop trying to measure up and embrace God’s grace
- Distinguish between lies and truth
- Embrace God’s promise of freedom

The study includes reflections on the life of King David and the original context of the writings, along with connections between the psalms and the life and death of Jesus the Messiah.

“The Psalms provide a perfect framework for experiencing Lent through the verses that were Jesus’s own scriptures, offering both him and us strength and wisdom in a painful and redemptive season. The Book of Psalms hums with the heartbeat of our humanity with divinely inspired words that find purchase in the tenderest places in our hearts when our human words or wisdom fails us.” Barb Roose

If so, you aren’t alone! In this six-week Bible study of Galatians, Barb Roose shows us that even the believers in the early church struggled to let go of rule-keeping and performance in order to embrace God’s free gift of grace.

In his letter to the Galatians, Paul pours out his heart and faith to set them straight, addressing so many of the same questions and problems we still face today, such as…

- Who has led you to believe you have to follow rules to be right with God?
- Why do you think you have to try to be perfect for God?
- How do we stay free in Christ?

If you’ve ever struggled with these questions or felt trapped by rules or religion, this study will provide a path to discover your freedom in Christ.

Through this study women will learn to:

- Stop trying to measure up and embrace God’s grace
- Distinguish between lies and truth
- Embrace God’s promise of freedom

Session Descriptions
Week 1
In the video for week 1, Barb explores Galatians 1 and the message that the gospel sets us free from the prisons of our past, problems, and pain. She reminds us that the gospel is based on God’s perfect promises, not our performance. This good news of the gospel releases us to discover God’s great adventure of faith and purpose for our lives.
Week 2
In the video for week 2, Barb explores Peter’s hypocrisy in Galatians 2, as well as Cornelius’ and Peter’s dreams, to help us consider that we cannot mess up God’s love for us. In other words, God’s love is not tied to our behavior. None of us is perfect, and God’s gospel of grace is for us all.
Week 3
In the video for week 3, Barb discusses how conflict has plagued humanity throughout time, including the life of the church. Drawing from Jesus’s prayer in John 17 and Paul’s words in Galatians 3, Barb paints a beautiful picture of biblical justice and unity, reminding us that our freedom in Christ cannot be shaken or taken away by those who choose not to live like Christ.
Week 4
In the video for week 4, Barb teaches from Galatians 4 as she encourages us to stop jumping through religious hoops, worrying that we’re not good enough for God, and instead embrace our freedom in Christ. Freedom in Christ is living free from fear and fully alive with joy and purpose.
Week 5
In the week 5 video, Barb unpacks Galatians 5 as she explores how we live by Spirit instead of by the sinful nature. She encourages us to share our spiritual breakthrough moments with others as we recognize God’s work within us, receive what He’s doing, and respond to it.
Week 6
In the week 6 video, Barb highlights Paul’s final words in his letter to the Galatians as she encourages us to be patient with the transformation process, acknowledge and celebrate our spiritual breakthroughs, and tell others about our breakthroughs as we give glory to God. She ends by reminding us that we are God’s beautiful, loveable, capable daughters who are confident in Christ and worthy of God’s best.', 'alternative_name' => 'Video-DVD', 'subtitle' => 'Finding Freedom in Christ', 'parent_isbn' => array ( ), 'book' => 'No', 'title' => 'Breakthrough DVD', 'image' => array ( '8f163679eb34c' => array ( 'link' => '', 'index' => 0, 'caption' => '', 'url' => '/media/image/9781791014261.jpg', 'type' => 'image', ), ), 'retailers' => array ( 0 => array ( '_display' => 'Amazon', '_id' => '57bc51474c5b61ac7de4f8ea', ), 1 => array ( '_display' => 'Barnes & Noble', '_id' => '57bdf1d34c5b61fb493ba4cb', ), 2 => array ( '_display' => 'Bookshop.org', '_id' => '5ed1233f1280b12c756e5c19', ), 3 => array ( '_display' => 'Christianbook.com', '_id' => '57bdf2c24c5b61ee493ba4cd', ), 4 => array ( '_display' => 'Cokesbury', '_id' => '57bdf31c4c5b61ea493ba4cc', ), 5 => array ( '_display' => 'Get It Local.

Are you facing a problem in life that you just can\'t fix, no matter what you do? Perhaps you\'ve heard the phrase "Let go and let God." But it\'s easier said than done. Is it possible that giving up on what you can\'t change is God\'s path to peace for your life? In this six-week Bible study of Jesus in the wilderness, Barb explores Jesus\' time of testing and contrasts it with the Israelites\' failures in the wilderness. As you learn from Jesus\' example, you\'ll discover six principles that will equip you to let God lead you to victory despite your circumstances as you deal with the problems and pain you are facing:

1. Recognize You Can’t Handle It
2. Stop Following Your Feelings
3. Give Up Control and Reach for God
4. Embrace God’s Better Blessing
5. Let Go of Fear
6. Experience the Blessings of a Surrendered Life

If you\'re tired of following your feelings or being disappointed by unchanging circumstances, learn how to surrender like Jesus and experience God\'s power and peace in your life as never before.

The Leader Guide contains session plan outlines, complete with discussion points and questions, activities, prayers, and more—plus leader helps for facilitating a group.

Are you facing a problem in life that you just can\'t fix, no matter what you do? Perhaps you\'ve heard the phrase "Let go and let God." But it\'s easier said than done. Is it possible that giving up on what you can\'t change is God\'s path to peace for your life? In this six-week Bible study of Jesus in the wilderness, Barb explores Jesus\' time of testing and contrasts it with the Israelites\' failures in the wilderness.

As you learn from Jesus\' example, you\'ll discover six principles that will equip you to let God lead you to victory despite your circumstances as you deal with the problems and pain you are facing:

1. Recognize You Can’t Handle It
2. Stop Following Your Feelings
3. Give Up Control and Reach for God
4. Embrace God’s Better Blessing
5. Let Go of Fear
6. Experience the Blessings of a Surrendered Life

If you\'re tired of following your feelings or being disappointed by unchanging circumstances, learn how to surrender like Jesus and experience God\'s power and peace in your life as never before.

Praise for Surrendered

Surrendered is the antidote for women like me who struggle with the dreaded c-word, control. Through
rich biblical teaching, vulnerable personal stories, and gentle (but insistent) beckoning, Barb Roose leads
us to a new place of freedom through trust in God. Finally . . . we can learn to release our white-knuckled
grip and rest.
—Amy Carroll, Proverbs 31 Ministries speaker and writer, author of Breaking Up with Perfect
and Exhale

This study is full of transformative principles to free you from the grip of control. Whether you are tempted
to flee difficult circumstances, fix outcomes, or force your way forward, Barb lays out a clear path to
experience God’s lasting peace, power, and provision as you live surrendered to Him.
— Katie M. Reid, author of Made Like Martha, Bible teacher, and host of The Martha + Mary
Show podcast

In this study, you’ll be learning from a friend who is familiar with the painful parts of life and a guide who
has traveled the hard road of surrender. She won’t lead you astray; she’ll lead you straight to the heart
of God.
—Tiffany Bluhm, speaker, podcaster, and author of She Dreams

Barb’s surrender principles free us from the need to control others and from anger or frustration over life’s
disappointing and hurtful circumstances. As a Bible study teacher, I highly recommend this study.

Do you ever feel like God is taking too long to answer your prayers? Have you ever taken matters into your own hands, only to discover that you’ve made the situation worse?

Waiting on God challenges our faith when the bills are stacking up, our families are falling apart, or our dreams feel like they won\'t come true. We know that God hears our prayers, but it’s hard when the clock is ticking yet He hasn’t shown us the answer.

In this four-week Bible study, Barb Roose invites us to explore the stories of women in the Bible who had to wait on God— women such as Hannah, Ruth, Martha, and the unnamed woman who suffered for over a decade with a painful medical condition. If you’ve felt anxious, angry, discouraged or depressed because God isn’t giving you what you want, their stories will breathe fresh hope and practical next steps in your life. As a reforming control lover, Barb mixes in her personal stories of learning how to wait for God during long seasons of unanswered prayers, family difficulties, and challenging times in ministry. Together we will discover that there is goodness and blessing to be found in times of waiting, including a closer relationship with God than we’ve ever dared to dream.

Other components for the Bible study, available separately, include a DVD.

"Barb Roose tackles the topic of patience in a way that really hit home for me personally. I have a lot of “why, how, and when” questions for God. Combining in-depth Scripture study with practical tools and personal stories, this study is one of the best I’ve ever read!

—Melissa Spoelstra, Bible teacher, speaker, and author of Romans: Good News That Changes Everything and numerous other Bible studies and books

When waiting is hard and long, the last thing you need is someone disregarding your pain, with platitudes like “just push through.” In I’m Waiting, God, Barb walks with us in our waiting. Warm, tender, and a help for moving forward, Barb’s study has left me stronger, knowing I can wait so His glory is seen.

—Lynn Cowell, author of Make Your Move and member of the Proverbs 31 Ministries speaker and writer team

Barb Roose is a wonderful role model of walking out biblical truth while in life’s waiting room. This study is a must read for anyone wondering what to do while waiting and wanting to stay close to God in the meantime.

—Pam Farrel, best-selling author of over forty books, including Discovering Hope in the Psalms: A Creative Bible Study Experience

Whether it’s personal worries about loved ones and daily circumstances or broader concerns about what’s happening in the world, we long for something more than platitudes that will help us put real feet to our faith and win the worry battle.

Many Christians do not have a full understanding of what it means to fight the good fight of faith. They try to live by faith but in the face of everyday trials and failures, they find themselves disillusioned and discouraged, wondering if they have done something wrong or if living by faith only works for others. The problem for most is simply a lack of understanding regarding what faith is and how it works.

This book, inspired by the Book of Joshua, reviews three tools a person can develop to Fight In Faith: 1) embracing God\'s promises, 2) courage and commitment under pressure and 3) practicing radical obedience while waiting for God to deliver your victory.

Just as God gave His people victory over their enemies when they fought in faith, He promises to do the same for us. Following the footprints of bold, courageous faith that God gave His people, we’ll be equipped with tools to bravely fight in faith and overcome both our daily struggles and the bigger battles we all face. Through examples of how God gave the Israelites victory over their enemies and generously blessed them, too, we’ll be victorious in our fight of faith so that we not only radically transform our own lives but unequivocally impact society.

Have you ever tried to fight worry with faith and felt you were losing the battle? Have comments like “God’s got this!” or “Just pray about it” only left you feeling more burdened? We know we shouldn’t worry, but the reality is that we all do at times. Whether it’s personal worries about loved ones and daily circumstances or broader concerns about what’s happening in the world, we long for something more than platitudes that will help us put real feet to our faith and win the worry battle.

In this six-week Bible study on the Book of Joshua, we will join God’s people as they arrive on the edge of the promised land only to find themselves in hostile territory, faced with fear and uncertainty. As we dig into the story of how Joshua and the Israelites claimed God’s promised victory, we’ll discover that winning the worry battle requires more than having faith; it requires learning to fight in faith! Following their bold, courageous footprints, we’ll learn how to fight in faith as we internalize God’s promises, draw strength from God’s faithfulness, act in obedience to God’s commands, and believe what our limitless God can do. Through in-depth study of how God gave the Israelites victory over their enemies and generously blessed them, too, we’ll be equipped with biblical wisdom, encouragement, and practical tools that will enable us to overcome our daily worry struggles as well as the bigger battles of fear that we face.

The participant workbook includes 5 lessons for each week with space for recording reflections and answers.

Other available components, each available separately, include a Leader Guide and DVD with six 20-25 minute sessions (with closed captioning).

It’s a struggle that negatively affects not only our self-image and self-esteem but also our relationships with God and others. What is the answer? We desperately need to regain a divine perspective on beauty.


During this six-week Bible study, we will unpack the beliefs or experiences that are holding us hostage. Together we will explore God’s truth about beauty throughout the Scriptures, digging into passages in both the Old and New Testaments and applying their truths in our lives. We will move away from over-focusing on unrealistic expectations and perceived flaws toward God’s viewpoint of our hearts, minds, bodies and souls.

By learning to see the goodness, blessing, and purpose for our bodies no matter our size, shape, or style, we will overcome discontent and comparison and learn to live fully as the beautifully unique creations God designed us to be.

During this six-week Bible study, women will unpack the beliefs or experiences that are holding them hostage. Together they will explore God\'s truth about beauty throughout the Scriptures, digging into passages in both the Old and New Testaments and applying the truths in their lives. They will move away from over-focusing on unrealistic expectations and perceived flaws toward God’s viewpoint of their hearts, minds, bodies and souls. As women make this journey, they will:

Be set free from the trap of comparison and self-ridicule
Become comfortable in their own skin
Reach beyond themselves to encourage and support other women


By learning to see the goodness, blessing, and purpose for their bodies no matter their size, shape, or style, women will overcome discontent and comparison and learn to live fully as the beautifully unique creations God designed them to be.

Do you ever feel like God is taking too long to answer your prayers? Have you ever taken matters into your own hands, only to discover that you’ve made the situation worse?

Waiting on God challenges our faith when the bills are stacking up, our families are falling apart, or our dreams feel like they won\'t come true. We know that God hears our prayers, but it’s hard when the clock is ticking yet He hasn’t shown us the answer.

In this four-week Bible study, Barb Roose invites us to explore the stories of women in the Bible who had to wait on God— women such as Hannah, Ruth, Tamar, and the unnamed woman who suffered for over a decade with a painful medical condition. If you’ve felt anxious, angry, discouraged or depressed because God isn’t giving you what you want, their stories will breathe fresh hope and practical next steps in your life. As a reforming control lover, Barb mixes in her personal stories of learning how to wait for God during long seasons of unanswered prayers, family difficulties, and challenging times in ministry. Together we will discover that there is goodness and blessing to be found in times of waiting, including a closer relationship with God than we’ve ever dared to dream.


The DVD contains four video segments featuring Barb\'s dynamic teaching
(of about 20 minutes each) for use during the group sessions, and
offers closed captioning.

Other components for the Bible study, available separately, include a Participant Workbook with Leader Helps.

I’m Waiting, God Video Session Descriptions

Week 1
In this video segment, Barb explores the story of Hannah to help us see that unanswered prayer can actually be an invitation to discover that God’s love is more powerful than the breakthrough, renew, or rescue we want.

Week 2
This week Barb compares the responses of Ruth and Naomi to contrast the bitter road and the better road, encouraging us to have faith that God can restore and bring blessing in the place of tears and pain.

Week 3
In this video segment Barb shares highlights from the story of the unnamed bleeding woman to show us that weakness is a pathway to Jesus, and that Jesus is enough when we’re weary of waiting. In addition to reminding us that it’s not how much faith we have but where we direct our faith, she offers practical steps for handling the weariness of waiting.

Week 4
In this final week Barb leads us through Martha’s story to encourage us that for every “no” that we face, we have the hope of a better future. She reminds us that God always has a better blessing waiting for us if we’re willing to let go of what we’re asking for and choose to receive what God wants to give us.', 'series_primary' => 'No', 'alternative_name' => 'Video-DVD', 'subtitle' => 'Finding Blessing in Gods Delays', 'title_category' => array ( 0 => array ( '_display' => 'I’m Waiting, God', '_id' => '5d66becac203ad2ca565fd6c', ), ), 'parent_isbn' => array ( ), 'book' => 'No', 'publication_date' => MongoDate::__set_state(array( 'sec' => 1567314000, 'usec' => 0, )), 'title' => 'I’m Waiting, God - Women\'s Bible Study DVD', 'akamai_image_path' => '649/9781501888649.jpg', 'image' => array ( '7d4b1b7ce4604' => array ( 'link' => '', 'index' => 0, 'caption' => '', 'url' => '/media/image/9781501888649.jpg', 'type' => 'image', ), ), 'retailers' => array ( 0 => array ( '_id' => '57bc51474c5b61ac7de4f8ea', '_display' => 'Amazon', ), 1 => array ( '_id' => '57bc52aa4c5b61ad7de4f8e8', '_display' => 'BAM', ), 2 => array ( '_id' => '57bdf1d34c5b61fb493ba4cb', '_display' => 'Barnes & Noble', ), 3 => array ( '_id' => '57bdf2c24c5b61ee493ba4cd', '_display' => 'Christianbook.com', ), 4 => array ( '_id' => '57bdf31c4c5b61ea493ba4cc', '_display' => 'Cokesbury', ), 5 => array ( '_id' => '5ed1233f1280b12c756e5c19', '_display' => 'Bookshop.org', ), 6 => array ( '_id' => '5ed123c1ae7c30836ef899e1', '_display' => 'Get It Local.
