History of "Women Alive!"

On Tuesday, the question, "Did we do a study on the book of Hebrews?" came up, and I thought the answer was no, but I researched my records, and the answer is still no. But from the question I compiled the following history of our group's studies! So, here it is:

We began our study group, “Women Alive!” on Tuesday, May 29, 2007 with a book study guide, A Modern Girls Guide to Bible Study by Jen Hatmaker, which included studying passages from various parts of the Bible. Then, using Jen's suggested schedule, we studied the books of 1 & 2 Peter and Ruth. We concluded the year with Road Trip by Jen Hatmaker.

In 2008, we studied Acts, Romans, Philippians, 1 & 2 Thessalonians, 1, 2 & 3 John, and Jude using the journaling strategies learned in A Modern Girls Guide to Bible Study.

In 2009, we continued using the journaling strategies learned in A Modern Girls Guide to Bible Study for our studies of Galatians, Ephesians, Colossians, and 1 & 2 Corinthians. In the fall, we studied Giving to God by Mark Allen Powell in conjunction with a church-wide ministry appeal. In December we had miscellaneous Advent devotions.

In 2010, we began a 2-year schedule of reading through the Chronological Study Bible (RKJV). We have completed reading Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1 & 2 Samuel, and just began reading 1 Kings on September 7th. We have also read many Psalms and Proverbs 1-9! Whew!

May we all be wiser after this!
