Knowing God's Word #1

Chapter 1: Will This Be on the Test?

On our spiritual journey for the next twelve weeks or so, we're studying Knowing God's Word, a Women of Faith Study Guide (foreward by Luci Swindoll). Through studying this book, we will:

• understand the reason we need to learn Scripture by heart and recall it every day;
• learn what's important in life and what isn't;
• be encouraged to have goals that are not only right, but also righteous (p. vi).

Chapter One Memorable Quote:

Bibles are "so commonplace, so readily available, that I think we sometimes forget just what we hold in our hands" (p 13).
