The 40-Day Bible Reading Challenge: How A Nearly Blank Page in the Bible Spoke Volumes

We began a breathtaking journey together of reading the entire Bible during Lent. The 40-Day Bible Challenge has been incredible. We never expected more than 5000 people  (and growing!) to download the Free 40-day Reading Guide. You can grab your copy by clicking here.

We’ve heard from people around the world—pastors, leaders, moms and dads, grandmas and grandchildren. One dad wrote this week to share:

“Just want to say thank you for your vision and encouragement on the 40-day reading. As a husband and dad of 4 with two jobs, finding time to read is a challenge, and my wife has almost become a Bible reading widow.

“Still, this exercise has reawakened (really, resurrected) my hunger for Scripture, and even made Christian music my sole choice (just lost my taste for others). And best of all, I feel a greater clarity of scripture and closeness to God than I had before. Ah simple faith, my old friend. How I’ve missed you!”  Continue Reading…

Does listening to an audiobook better than a bookI have several pastor friends who quit reading. Not completely. But if I recommend a book, they respond, “Is that available as an audiobook?”

They tout the benefits of audiobooks. Listening to a book allows them to multi-task. The daily commute becomes an opportunity to learn. Time on the treadmill doesn’t just strengthen their bodies but their minds, if they listen to an audiobook at the same time.

But does listening to an audiobook yield the same benefits as reading a book? Continue Reading…

Which Bible study is Right for Your Small Group?If you haven’t heard, The Winter Sale is taking place in our store through Friday where you’ll find Bible studies up to 40% off.

But which Bible study is right for your and your group?

We wanted to provide an easy breakdown of these Bible studies and highlight the focus of each study as you prayerfully consider which of the studies are best for your group during the upcoming year. Continue Reading…

We want to introduce you to several DVD Bible studies that small groups, Bible studies, Sunday school classes, book clubs, and other groups around the country have been using to grow in their faith, knowledge of the Bible, and love of God.

Wonderstruck 7-Session DVD Bible Study invites participants to become more aware of God’s presence in their lives, recognize what’s holding them back in their prayer, be encouraged to go deeper in their friendships, and challenged to walk deeper levels of forgiveness, grace and joy.

The Organic God 6-Session Bible Study examines the attributes of God including His kindness, generosity, bigheartedness, beauty, and mystery.

The Sacred Echo 6-Session Bible Study challenges participants to grow in their prayer life and learn to hear God’s voice through the Scriptures.

Scouting the Divine 6-Session Bible Study looks at agrarian themes in Scripture including sheep/shepherds, farming, bees/honey, and grape growing bringing familiar passages to life.

Pursuing God’s Beauty: Stories from the Gospel of John  6-Session DVD Bible Study explores the entire Gospel of John and what it means to celebrate and radiate the beauty of Christ in your own life.

Pursuing God’s Love: Stories from the Book of Genesis 6-Session DVD Bible Study takes participants through the entire book of Genesis and explores the unflinching love of our Creator.

All of these studies are designed to be “All-Play” meaning that if someone doesn’t get to the homework, they can still dive into the group time. No one needs to feel left out! But of course, those who dive into the homework and reading will always get more out of the study.

Each of these studies are also created to bring people together. The questions are designed to take people deeper into the Scripture, but also create a safe place where people can share their stories and lives together as followers of Jesus.

While some groups decide to take their group through the following studies using just the workbook, we have found that participants get the most out of the study when they use it in unison with the book. We want to make this as affordable as possible, so we’ve created great discounts (up to 40%) when you purchase the book and workbook combination. Click here to see these great deals.

On the DVD sampler page, you’ll find a sample video lesson, as well as a PDF sample workbook lesson from each study. We would love to hear what you think, pray for your church and ministry, connect with you to let you know more about the products, answer any questions, and give you a heads up for any specials we’re offering.

If you are looking for a Bible study for your church or small group, email jessica@margaretfeinberg.com and we’ll give you access to the complimentary DVD Sampler from Margaret Feinberg.
