Romans: The Letter that Changed the World (Vol 2)
by Tommy Nelson
The most important idea in the Bible is how a Holy God can get a sinful man into Heaven and not compromise who He is. Romans tells us just that! It sits as Master of the House before all of Paul’s writings. It is a Bible in miniature. In our study in Romans (Part 2) we will look at Paul’s unfolding logic and incisive reasoning as to the divinity and holiness of the Christian Gospel. (Co-ed study)

Beth peels back the layers of history and shows how very contemporary and applicable the story of Esther is to us.

Forgotten God: Reversing Our Tragic Neglect of the Holy Spirit
by Francis Chan
In the name of the Father, the Son, and … the Holy Spirit. We pray in the name of all three, but how often do we live with an awareness of only the first two? As Jesus ascended into heaven, He promised to send the Holy Spirit—the Helper—so that we could be true and living witnesses for Christ. Unfortunately, today’s church has admired the gift but neglected to open it.
Breakthrough author Francis Chan rips away paper and bows to get at the true source of the church’s power—the Holy Spirit. Chan contends that we’ve ignored the Spirit for far too long, and we are reaping the disastrous results. Thorough scriptural support and compelling narrative form Chan’s invitation to stop and remember the One we’ve forgotten, the Spirit of the living God. (Co-ed study)

The Screwtape Letters
by C.S. Lewis
A masterpiece of satire, this classic has entertained and enlightened readers the world over with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life from the vantage point of screwtape, a highly placed assistant to "Our Father Below." At once wildly comic, deadly serious, and strikingly original C. S. Lewis gives us the correspondence of the worldly-wise old devil to his nephew Wormwood, a novice demon in charge of securing the damnation of an ordinary young man. The Screwtape Letters is the most engaging and humorous account of temptation and triumph over it -- ever written. This study will explore the pages of this classic book and provide a great source of discussion for Godly living.

Room 301-302

Encountering The World of Islam
Led by Brett Gibson
Islam was founded more than 600 years after the resurrection of Christ. It is considered, by some, to be the greatest test of Christian relevance in the world today. Sadly, Christians rarely reach out to Muslims. Many Christians hold mistaken stereotypes that make Muslims seem unattractive. Some Christians find it difficult to relate to Muslims. Others simply don’t know how to interact with their Muslim neighbors. Encountering the World of Islam can help break down these barriers.
Explore the Muslim world and God's plan for Muslims. Investigate Islam through this positive and hopeful book which covers the life of Muhammad, the history of Islamic civilization, Islamic beliefs, Muslims today, and their everyday lives across the diverse cultures of different Muslim peoples from Morocco to Indonesia. Also gain insight into Muslim culture and worldview, Christian outreach toward Muslims, our response to Islam, and prayer for the Muslim world. More than 80 different practitioners guide you through this introduction to the world of Islam. (Co-ed study)

Shepherding a Child's Heart
by Tedd Tripp
Shepherding a Child's Heart is about how to speak to the heart of your child. The things your child does and says flow from the heart. Luke 6:45 puts it this way, "...out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks." (NIV) Intended for parents with children of any age, this insightful series provides perspectives and procedures for shepherding your child's heart into the paths of life. (Co-ed study)

The Quest for Authentic Manhood

The Quest for Authentic Manhood is the foundational level or ground floor of manhood. This 24-session study focuses on a man's core identity and gives an overview of basic manhood issues. It will help men deal with various identity issues by looking back at past wounds and other things that may have distorted their idea of biblical masculinity. Throughout the course of the study, men will learn how to clearly define manhood and will finally be able to give a succinct and passionate answer to the questions, "What is a man?" and "What am I living to be?"

Authentic Manhood, Winning at Work & Home
