During the Lenten season, I invited you to read the entire Bible in 40 days (sounds crazy, I know. Click here to download the free reading guide). We glimpsed God’s story at a breathtaking 40,000 feet. Themes popped off the page I hadn’t noticed before. Stories I had typically glazed over were brought to life once again. I learned things about God and myself during those 40 days that I’m still chewing over.  And I am busting at the seams with a love for God’s Word like never before.

While it was breathtaking to read Scripture at such a broad view, many of those who read along wanted to slow down and dive deep.

Well, me too! Me too!

That’s why I’m inviting you and your friends to go on another wild adventure with me through God’s Word this summer. I’m so excited to be diving into the Bible.

And I want you to come with! We’re going to explore the Gospel of John and the Book of Genesis in depth over twelve weeks.

Beginning today, we will spend the next six weeks studying the Gospel of John using the accompanying DVD Bible Study: Pursuing God’s Beauty: Stories from the Gospel of John. After John wraps up, we will be dive into Genesis, using the accompanying DVD Bible study: Pursuing God’s Love: Stories from the Book of Genesis.

We want to make this as affordable as possible for you. That’s why we’re offering a Summer Bible Study Special—the DVDs and Participant Guide Workbooks for BOTH Pursuing God’s Beauty and Pursuing God’s Love for only $40.00 (regularly $73.96). Click here to purchase your Summer Bible Study Special today.

Each week, we’ll read a handful of chapters from the Gospel of John, watch a session from Pursuing God’s Beauty: Stories from the Gospel of John DVD, interact with the five days of homework, listen in each Thursday with a live interview on Midday Connection (click here to subscribe), and discuss what you’re learning along the way at MargaretFeinberg.com, on Twitter, and on Facebook. For my fellow blogging friends, each Thursday you can link up your posts as you share what God’s teaching you through His Word.
