About this title

Synopsis

Life in ancient times was a struggle for survival, many times removed from the relaxed, comfortable existence most of us enjoy today. For women especially, simply living often meant enduring a harsh society that viewed women as voiceless entities more like property than persons. Still, faith blossomed and thrived. Explore the bold, yet inspirational lives of Old Testament women such as Hannah, Hagar, Abigail, and others.

This 6-week video study is the fourth in the Sisters Bible Study series and is presented as a kit that includes: video presentations in both DVD and VHS formats (each session is 15-minutes in length), a participant’s workbook, and a leader’s guide. The DVD contains the same material as the VHS, offering users flexibility in viewing the study. The kit is packaged in a vinyl case for ease of use and storage.

Each study group member will need to purchase a participant’s workbook separately.

The format of each study session is: ·A session introduction by the series host with a 7-8 minute presentation of the session material to the group by the study presenter, a small group discussion (i.e., 4-6 women) facilitated by the study presenter after viewing the video, and the remaining 60-90 minutes spent discussing the session material.
