#15— Armor of God Group Leader: Carolyn Landis
Description: In this study by Priscilla Shirer, we are taught that the enemy is attacking us from all sides to destroy our relationship with God, and our personal relationships in our earthly lives.

#19 Redeeming Love — Group Leader: Kathy Smith
Description: Through Redeeming Love, author Francine Rivers writes: While studying the book of Hosea, I felt the Lord nudging me to write His love story. The prophet’s life gave me the plot. As I studied Hosea I prayed that the readers would see what real love looks like – passionate, sacrificial, unchanging, and eternal. When readers wrote to me and said they longed to meet a man like Michael (the main character), I would write back, “You can! His name is Jesus!” This is why I wrote Redeeming Love: so that you would know how greatly you are loved and that no matter what you’ve been through , God loves and wants you. He can make beauty out of ashes. He makes all things new.
