11 Priscilla Shirer COMING AUGUST 2015! ABOUT THE AUTHOR PRISCILLA SHIRER 7-SESSION BIBLE STUDY Priscilla Shirer planned to be a TV news anchor, but God had other ideas. While interning at a Christian radio station in Houston, she began to receive invitations to do Bible studies at small women s events. At only 18 she shared the simple truths of Scripture that she was studying during her quiet tme, and she s been in full-time ministry ever since. Priscilla s minstry is focused on the expository teaching of the Word of God. Her desire is to see women come to a full understanding of who they are in Christ by hearing the uncompromising truth of Scripture. SABBATH IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO STAND IN AWE OF HIS CHARACTER, HIS POWER, AND HIS HANDIWORK. BREATHE THE ARMOR OF GOD Priscilla Shirer All day, every day, an invisible war rages around you unseen, unheard, yet felt throughout every aspect of your life. A devoted, devilish enemy seeks to wreak havoc on everything that matters to you. If you re tired of being pushed around and caught with your guard down, this study is for you. The enemy always fails miserably when he meets a woman dressed for the occasion. The Armor of God, more than merely a biblical description of the believer s inventory, is an action plan for putting it on and developing a personalized strategy to secure victory. (7 sessions) $ $ BREATHE: MAKING ROOM FOR SABBATH Priscilla Shirer One of the greatest challenges for women is taking time to stop all the activities and busyness and just breathe. We are in bondage to busyness. We miss the moments because we rush ahead to the next thing. By neglecting time for tranquility, serenity, and repose, we limit our Christlikeness and miss out on some of God s greatest gifts. It is time for us to breathe and make incorporating Sabbath a way of life. In the Old Testament, God instituted principles and laws that would transform the Israelites mindset. Sabbath was intended as a gift, and it is still a gift to us today. If you are weary, worn out, and exhausted, the concept of Sabbath will change your life.

This is the uplifting, wellreasoned answer not a denial of life s adversities and troubles, but a biblical reminder that God is always up to great things, even when His great things are greater than instant remedies and visible change. He is a God who cares and a God who can.

God makes provision to help us move beyond our messes, but often our first instinct is to hide, deny, ignore, or run from them.
