Living as a Christian can be hard when we find ourselves in the midst of incredibly difficult circumstances. But Christians today are not the first Christians who have faced incredibly difficult circumstances. Throughout Scripture, God introduces several people of great faith who, despite facing incredibly challenging circumstances, remained steadfast in their faith. And it's these people of great faith who are great mentors as we, too, pursue a closer relationship with our heavenly Father and a life of Christian diligence. Written for Christian women - college age and older - this nine-session Bible study explores the lives of ordinary people in the Bible who had extraordinary faith. In doing so, women today will come to understand how they, too, can stay diligent toward God in attitude, behavior, and prayer regardless of the difficult circumstances in which they find themselves. This study features a design that works well for individual study or small- or large-group study. Exercises and self-reflection questions will help women not only apply the material they learn to their lives in practical ways but also grow in their faith to become more confident in their prayer lives.
