Breakthrough - Women`s Bible Study Participant Workbook: Finding Freedom in Christ, Roose Barb

In this forty-day devotional journey, women will learn how to surrender like Jesus and experience God's power and peace in their life as never before Inspired by Jesus's forty days in the wilderness, the devotions are divided into four sections:

1. Letting Go of Circumstances
2. Letting Go of Others

• Features forty devotions inspired by Jesus's forty days in the wilderness.
• Devotions give readers inspiration to find peace in their own lives.
• Excellent stand-alone resource or companion to the Surrendered: Letting Go and Living Like Jesus Bible study.
• Includes Scripture, stories, letting go principles, application questions, and more.

Are you facing a problem in life that you just can't fix, no matter what you do? Perhaps you've heard the phrase "Let go and let God." But it's easier said than done. Is it possible that giving up on what you can't change is God's path to peace for your life? In this six-week Bible study of Jesus in the wilderness, Barb explores Jesus' time of testing and contrasts it with the Israelites' failures in the wilderness. As you learn from Jesus' example, you'll discover six principles that will equip you to let God lead you to victory despite your circumstances as you deal with the problems and pain you are facing:

1. Recognize You Can't Handle It
2. Stop Following Your Feelings
3. Give Up Control and Reach for God
4. Embrace God's Better Blessing
5. Let Go of Fear
6. Experience the Blessings of a Surrendered Life

If you're tired of following your feelings or being disappointed by unchanging circumstances, learn how to surrender like Jesus and experience God's power and peace in your life as never before.

Have you ever felt that being a good Christian means you've got to follow a bunch of rules and measure up?

If so, you aren't alone In this six-week Bible study of Galatians, Barb Roose shows us that even the believers in the early church struggled to let go of rule-keeping and performance in order to embrace God's free gift of grace.

In his letter to the Galatians, Paul pours out his heart and faith to set them straight, addressing so many of the same questions and problems we still face today, such as...

• Who has led you to believe you have to follow rules and "measure up"?
• Why do you think you have to be perfect for God?
• Does God only show up or love you when you "get it right"?

If you've ever struggled with these questions or felt trapped by rules or religion, this study will provide a path to discover your freedom in Christ.

Through this study women will learn to:

• Stop trying to measure up and embrace God's grace
• Distinguish between lies and truth
• Embrace God's promise of freedom

Components for this six-week Bible study, each available separately, include a Participant Workbook, a Leader Guide, and video sessions with six 25-minute segments (with closed captioning).

Praise for Surrendered

Surrendered is the antidote for women like me who struggle with the dreaded c-word, control. Through
rich biblical teaching, vulnerable personal stories, and gentle (but insistent) beckoning, Barb Roose leads
us to a new place of freedom through trust in God. Finally . . . we can learn to release our white-knuckled
grip and rest.
--Amy Carroll, Proverbs 31 Ministries speaker and writer, author of Breaking Up with Perfect
and Exhale

This study is full of transformative principles to free you from the grip of control. Whether you are tempted
to flee difficult circumstances, fix outcomes, or force your way forward, Barb lays out a clear path to
experience God's lasting peace, power, and provision as you live surrendered to Him.
-- Katie M. Reid, author of Made Like Martha, Bible teacher, and host of The Martha + Mary
Show podcast

In this study, you'll be learning from a friend who is familiar with the painful parts of life and a guide who
has traveled the hard road of surrender. She won't lead you astray; she'll lead you straight to the heart
of God.
--Tiffany Bluhm, speaker, podcaster, and author of She Dreams

Many Christians do not have a full understanding of what it means to fight the good fight of faith. They try to live by faith but in the face of everyday trials and failures, they find themselves disillusioned and discouraged, wondering if they have done something wrong or if living by faith only works for others. The problem for most is simply a lack of understanding regarding what faith is and how it works.

This book, inspired by the Book of Joshua, reviews three tools a person can develop to Fight In Faith 1) embracing God's promises, 2) courage and commitment under pressure and 3) practicing radical obedience while waiting for God to deliver your victory.

Just as God gave His people victory over their enemies when they fought in faith, He promises to do the same for us. Following the footprints of bold, courageous faith that God gave His people, we'll be equipped with tools to bravely fight in faith and overcome both our daily struggles and the bigger battles we all face. Through examples of how God gave the Israelites victory over their enemies and generously blessed them, too, we'll be victorious in our fight of faith so that we not only radically transform our own lives but unequivocally impact society.

A companion six-week Bible study Joshua: Winning the Worry Battle is also available for those who would like to dig deeper into the book's topic. Study components, each available separately, include a Participant Workbook with five days of lessons per week, Leader Guide, and DVD with six 20-25 minute sessions (with closed captioning).

In this six-week Bible study on the Book of Joshua, we will join God's people as they arrive on the edge of the promised land only to find themselves in hostile territory, faced with fear and uncertainty. As we dig into the story of how Joshua and the Israelites claimed God's promised victory, we'll discover that winning the worry battle requires more than having faith; it requires learning to fight in faith Following their bold, courageous footprints, we'll learn how to fight in faith as we internalize God's promises, draw strength from God's faithfulness, act in obedience to God's commands, and believe what our limitless God can do. Through in-depth study of how God gave the Israelites victory over their enemies and generously blessed them, too, we'll be equipped with biblical wisdom, encouragement, and practical tools that will enable us to overcome our daily worry struggles as well as the bigger battles of fear that we face.

The participant workbook includes 5 lessons for each week with space for recording reflections and answers.

Other available components, each available separately, include a Leader Guide and DVD with six 20-25 minute sessions (with closed captioning).

• Case studies focusing on Europe, Russia, the Middle East, and South America
• Integrates issues of current migration and boundary-making processes
• Various experts discussing social and political factors pertaining to current dynamics of migration and boundary-making in different cultural settings
• Sociological and political analyses of current trends in transnational migration and rebordering
• Brings together studies from different continents

This book deals with the ongoing processes of migration and boundary-(re)making in Europe and other parts of the world. It takes stock of recent and hitherto unpublished research on the refugee crisis in Europe, migration dynamics in the Middle East and migration flows in Africa and Latin America, specifically in relation to their political, social and cultural framing. In particular, chapters in this collection focus on newer cases of transnational migration and their socio-political implications.

Alongside the refugee and migrant crisis in Europe, which can be seen as one of the most divisive political issues in recent European history, new patterns of migration and re-bordering can also be seen across Europe, the Middle East and beyond. These include both the rise of anti-immigration populism within the nation-states and practices of discouraging migration at the regional level such as the EU.
