E-Books →Joseph - Women's Bible Study Participant Book The Journey to Forgiveness

small breach such as being spoken to rudely or overlooked in a time of
need. Other times we experience lies, gossip, or harsh words that cut us
to the core. Some of us have endured unspeakable pain through abuse,
adultery, or abandonment. God knows the pain we cause each other and
longs to help us learn to practice forgiveness.
Nowhere do we see forgiveness played out more fully in Scripture than in
the biblical story of Joseph.
This six-week study explores what God has to say to us about grace
and forgiveness through Joseph's story of trial and triumph found in
Genesis 37-50. As we study his dreams, his betrayers, his dysfunctional
family, his struggle to forgive, and his journey toward reconciliation,
we'll find truths that echo into our own personal situations as well as
practical help for answering common questions, such as:
How do I stop dwelling on the hurt?
Is forgiving someone excusing what happened?
When will I stop having to re-forgive?
Is there a difference between forgiveness and reconciliation?
How can I forgive and still set boundaries?
Is it ever okay not to forgive?
Whether or not you are working through a hurtful situation right now,
you can learn from Joseph how to release your past and present hurts to
God and allow Him to do a supernatural work of forgiveness in your
life. God wants to use the very things intended to hurt you as a source
of blessing in your life and the lives of others.
The Participant Book includes five days of lessons for each week, combining study of Scripture with personal reflection, application, and prayer.
Other components for the Bible study, available separately, include a Leader Guide, DVD with six 20-25 minute sessions, and boxed Leader Kit (an all-inclusive box containing one copy of each of the Bible study's components).
