Women’s Bible Study
Our Women’s Bible Study group at First Baptist Church began in the summer of 1998 with six ladies. Since that first meeting, we have offered 160 different Bible studies. We have also read 64 books over the last nineteen years in our summer reading club. During the last twenty-five years, more than 300 women have participated in at least one of our studies or reading clubs. We hope that you will plan to join us this year!

The Attributes of God
A.W. Tozer famously said, “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” Who is God? What is He like? How does He relate to His people?
The Attributes of God is a 6-week study that equips believers to:
- Understand the depths and richness of the character of God.
- Learn how to reflect God’s communicable attributes in everyday life.
- Recognize how God’s attributes reveal His character, our sin, and the gospel.

Identity Theft
Reclaiming the Truth of Who We Are in Christ
Edited by Melissa Kruger
Who am I? It’s a question we all ask ourselves at some point. Depending on the season we focus our identity on our job performance, marital status, personality type, or social network, among other options. However, there’s a larger question to consider. Who does the Bible tell me I am in Christ?
From the wisdom and perspective of insightful authors-including Jen Wilkin, Hannah Anderson, Trillia Newbell, and Jen Pollock Michel -we’ll seek to answer this question.

Suffering Is Never for Nothing
Elisabeth Elliot
Why doesn’t God do something about suffering? He has, He did, He is, and He will.
Suffering and love are inexplicably linked, as God’s love for His people is evidenced in His sending Jesus to carry our sins, griefs, and sufferings on the cross, sacrificially taking what was not His on Himself so that we would not be required to carry it. He has walked the ultimate path of suffering, and He has won victory on our behalf.
This truth led Elisabeth to say, “Whatever is in the cup that God is offering to me, whether it be pain and sorrow and suffering and grief along with the many more joys, I’m willing to take it because I trust Him.”
Because suffering is never for nothing.

Amy DiMarcangelo
Many Christians—especially those who have grown up in the church—seem to have “good” lives, free from extreme hardship and scandalous sin. Yet even this good life leaves them longing. Regardless of our backgrounds and circumstances, all of us have a deep hunger that only Jesus can satisfy.
In this book, Amy DiMarcangelo invites readers to feast at the table of grace, where they will find God’s vast glory and intimate care, his strength made perfect in weakness, and his gifts of joy and comfort. Even the most hungry Christians will be encouraged that they “may be filled with all the fullness of God” (Ephesians 3:19).
- Encouragement for Christian Women: Written to help both new and mature Christians embrace their need for Christ and find satisfaction in him alone
- Biblical: Unfolds the unsearchable glories of God through his word
