A friend and I have started meeting in the mornings to walk/jog together. She asked me today if I'd be interested in incorporating a Bible study (not every day) a half-hour before we start. This is a great opportunity for me, and I'm anxious to get started.
But where to start?
We are both adults, long-time Christians, but kind of luke-warm-ish right now. By that, I mean that although we both love Jesus we have let the busy-ness of life get between us and the relationship that I know we're both called to have with Him. Other than that, I'm married w/ kids, she's single w/ a nearly-grown daughter.
Any suggestions on a study that we could do together?
Thank you!
Gretchen

I really liked Experiencing God by Henry Blackaby - it is a great book to challenge you to a deeper faith.

Many people like Beth Moore, but I have gotten the impression (from what have read) she is heavy on the idea that God gives us cancer and car wrecks to teach us lessons, and I can't get on board with that, so I have a hard time further exploring anything she has written.

I was going to suggest Experiencing God too. We did it a few years ago in Ladies' Bible Class and it was great.

Are you planning to read the whole Bible?

How about Kay Arthur? She has some really awesome, easy to do, down to earth studies.

I also like the Battlefield of the Mind study. (Joyce Meyer) I like Cynthia Heald. Kay Arthur. I also like the LifeChange Bible study series. (on all the books in the Bible)

You can always choose a book of the Bible to start with and have commentaries and a good Bible dictionary and study a chapter in-depth and discuss each time.

I think this is great! I love Bible Studies. Remember to start and finish each study in prayer.

last night at a clothing swap I picked up "Becoming a Woman of Influence" by Carol Kent - I have only made it through a bit, but it looks pretty awesome and there is a bible study outline in the back that looks great!
