My, but I have been silent haven't I? I have good reasons. I've been working frantically to finish Learning from the Master: Living a Surrendered Life (see picture on the sidebar).This study guide is based on my novel Come to Me. Like the book, we look at the events in Jesus' life, but this time we dig a little deeper and learn from our Lord's example (and His mother's) on how to live a surrendered life. This study is ideal for personal use, but is designed to be used in a group setting as well. Unfortunately guys, it is a study suited for women.

The use of Come to Me is to give you a sense of Jesus' day to day life. How he interacted with his family and friends, his sense of humour, his concerns, etc. Then, using Learning from the Master and your bible you will discover how Jesus was able to willingly lay aside his own desires for the Kingdom of God. I hope by the end of the study women will easily be able to recognize those areas of their lives where changes need to occur and how they can make those changes to live a fully surrendered life.

Since the study follows Jesus life, birth, death and resurrection a study on The Star of Bethlehem is included and I'm pleased to announce that Rick Larson, the creator of that wonderful DVD, is allowing me to make The Star of Bethlehem available through my website. I have set aside one week in the study just for you to watch the DVD. Of course you don't have to, but honestly you will miss so much if you don't. You will be amazed at how the Lord orchestrated the heavens the day of Jesus' birth (even before his birth) and in particular, you will be in awe of how the stars were aligned when he died and rose again. The heavens are indeed God's handiwork and have much to reveal.

So, if you are looking for something to dig into with your ladies group this year (or for your own personal use) Learning from the Master will be out soon!
