Women's Bible Study | Jeannette Brennan: What do the women of Genesis (Sarah, Hagar, Rebekah, Leah, and Rachel) have in common? They were strong-willed but flawed women, loved by a flawless God.

Precept Women's Bible Study | LuAnn Turbiak: In "Lord, I Want to Know You," you'll discover the limitless power of God's Name.

But that will change when you know God more fully by studying His names (Creator, Healer, Protector, Provider, and many others) you'll gain power to stand strong. Book cost: $13. REGISTER HERE
