"Coronation hears of the murders before she even reaches the slave port of Bristol-six boys found with their throats slit. Horrified, she questions the locals' readiness to blame the deaths on Red John, a traveling-man few have actually seen. Corrie yearns to know more about the mystery. But first she has to outsmart the bawds, thieves, and rakes who prey on young girls like her, fresh from the countryside and desperate for work. And when the killer strikes shockingly close, Corrie will have to scheme, eavesdrop, and spy on all around her until the shameful truth is out..."--

Disillusioned with religion? Jesus hasn't left you.The Bible doesn't shy away from stories about how even the seemingly best or most religious Christians can get it wrong. God could have easily omitted these stories, but instead, he chose to magnify the failures of religious people acting foolishly. That's because he's not interested in saving face--he's interested in restoration. In Saints, you'll discover that Jesus isn't fazed by people's mistakes; he's still after relationship and connection with every single one of us.In Saints, we're going to explore: John 3, 7, and 19 Nicodemus, the Pharisee who was disoriented by Jesus' testimony;John 6, 12, 13, and 18 Judas, the disciple who sold Jesus out;John 11 and 18 and Acts 4 Caiaphas, the high priest who was unwilling to steward his power generously;John 18 and 21 Peter, the disciple who denied association with Jesus; andActs 8 and 1 Timothy 1 Paul, the Pharisee who persecuted Christians.The Storyline Bible StudiesWhether you are new to the Christian faith or a seasoned Bible reader, the Storyline Bible Studies guide you through the storyline of Scripture--each following people, places, or things in the Bible.

Jesus' journey to the woman at the well in Samaria offers insights and hope for women today to make peace with the past, find hope in the present, and step into the future.

In a culture that has gendered the Greatest Commandment to love the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, Bible study teacher and pastor's wife Kat Armstrong sheds new light on the scripture, emboldening women (and men) to fully flourish.

';Don't be afraid. Just give me your everything.'When Jesus told us to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, strength (Mark 12:30), did he mean it one way for men and another way for women?Through heartfelt biblical teaching, Kat Armstrong challenges the way our church culture has limited the terms of Jesus' command to the perceived strengths of each gender. She dares to ask and explore what faith and life in general would look like if we broke through the barriers holding us back and lived giving Jesus our ALL.In this six-session video Bible study, Kat offers a fresh perspective of encouragement that aligns with Scripture from beginning to end: ';Don't be afraid. Give me your everything.' She urges women to wholeheartedly love the lord beyond our heart and soul, as well as with our mind and strength.
