Start each Bible study session with a FREE video.

Marina introduces each chapter by sharing how the Bible story has personally impacted her and taught her about God, how we can all relate to these stories, and how God used each story to inspire Marina and give her hope at “just the right moment” through the trials and joys of her life.

Each weekly video is 6 to 7 minutes ad-free.

This Bible study provides everything you need to lead a small group with no need for homework or research. Can you invite several friends over to your home? That's it!

After fellowship, you can begin the session by playing the free 7-minute video on this site for a personal connection to these Bible women from the author.

Next, open the study and go through the chapter verse-by-verse with your group. You will find a readable format with space for notes and the Bible passages included in the book.

  • Read the background section for context
  • Read the passage verse-by-verse and ask the accompanying questions (don't worry--these questions will lead to engaging conversation!)
  • Discuss key points with thoughtful questions at the end
  • Reflect on scholarly-based commentary from the author
  • End with a written prayer from the author or add your own

Get ready for God to speak and friendships to flourish!

Within these pages Marina captivates the reader by highlighting the eternal truth that the Word of God is inspiring and alive. The rich theology will equip you with vital ‘information,’ while the reflection and meditation questions will take you on a journey of ‘transformation.’”
