Friendship Tuesday & Friendship Tuesday Morning
The Frazzled Female Bible
Study by Cindi Wood is a resource
designed especially for women. By sitting at the feet of Jesus and absorbing His
teaching, women will
be able to deal with essential issues like managing their time, getting along
with difficult people, taking time for themselves, and even organizing their
lives. This thought-provoking, yet light-hearted, study helps women
discover practical, biblical help to confront issues that otherwise leave them
discouraged. It helps participants develop biblical skills to handle stressful
situations; grow in their relationship with Jesus; and ultimately experience
peace, joy, and a saner lifestyle.
