Petals from the Basket

New Book Available June 15, 2012!

I couldn’t wait until Monday morning to post this, so I’m posting it tonight!

As announced in its generic form last week…

It’s coming!

And it’s coming on Friday, June 15th!

The “it” is a downloadable Bible study, available only on the Petals from the Basket website, entitled…

THE ABC’s of T2:3

This 14-lesson Bible study for women can serve as an individual study or a group study (such as a Sunday School class, Life Group, weekly ladies’ Bible study, or just a group of friends encouraging one another to know God more).

During the summer of 2011, I was asked to teach a class for women at the church where I worked. In my off-work hours, I diligently poured over the familiar three-verse passage starting in Titus 2:3. The more I read it, the more I realized that Paul’s primary instruction to Titus throughout this entire little book of Scripture was to teach the believers on the island of Crete to know God and to live for Him.

The pieces began to fit together for me, and I decided to combine my love for the names and attributes of God (“Praise Walk,” anyone?) with the principles taught to women in this passage. Therefore, I chose the name THE ABC’s of T2:3!

I enjoyed teaching the class, but I was encouraged recently to go one step further and make the series available in print. Following an introductory lesson, there are 13 lessons, each with a brief study on that week’s two letters of the alphabet and their corresponding names or attributes of God, along with one principle, command, or instruction from Titus 2:3-5.

No Kindle, Nook, or special equipment will be necessary! In true “e-book” formatting, you will be able to download the book right from this site at a very minimal cost, and begin the study at your convenience!

So that’s the announcement! (There will be a few other related fun announcements between now and the launch of the book, so keep an eye out for those!)

But first, I have a personal request:

I do not “promote” this in pride but in the hopes that it will be used of God to teach all of us more of His Word and more about Him! Therefore, I would like to ask that you pray with me at least one time between now and Friday, June 15th, that God will use this study in my heart and in the hearts of the women who use it. To God be the glory!
