Need a Fall Women’s Bible Study? Try One of These.

It’s the time of year when women’s ministry teams select Bible-study curriculum for the coming year.

Choosing a study that is biblically rich, theologically sound, and works for a real-life group of women can be a challenge. To help narrow down the options, we asked 20 women’s ministry leaders for their recommendations for both Bible and book studies. Their recommendations certainly don’t highlight all the good Christian books available, but the format and content of these resources have worked well in their women’s small groups.

Maybe one of them will work for yours.
