A new month and a new feature on kd316. As I’ve lived in many places there are many women whom I would love to have the ability to sit down in my living room and study this book together (or any other). But, that can’t happen. So, that’s why we have technology right?
Women from all over are going to join up and study Crossway Book’s new release (June 2013) of Alistair Begg and Sinclair Ferguson’s readable, applicable book on Jesus: Name Above All Names. This has been an outstanding book in my opinion and I’ve been enjoying getting to know Jesus better, getting to know the authors better, and getting to know myself better (as you inevitably will when you study Jesus).
So, join us. We will be starting on July 15 and the comments will be how we dialogue. If you don’t necessarily want to comment via the comment section, you can always use facebook or email to dialogue. But, I’d love to hear your thoughts (whether you are here in Little Rock or halfway around the world). You have plenty of time to order your book. The chapters are not long and they are very readable even for the average woman who has never been to seminary or anything. Jump on in! Everyone needs to learn more about Jesus!
I’ll post the study from each chapter each Monday, starting with chapter 1 on July 15 (so if you have time, please go ahead and read it).

Jesus. What’s in a name?
This is the most important name to us Christians – the one that our entire Hope lies in. Begg and Ferguson, some of my favorite preachers, have teamed up to write a fabulous and readable book that studies some of the positions/names of Jesus.
I chose this book from Crossway this month because of the authors, but I was afraid it was going to be over my head or not really readable and applicable. I was wrong on both acccounts. They have made this book not only applicable but funny in places.
One of the underlying messages throughout this book is that Jesus is the center message of the entire Bible – and Jesus needs to be the center of your life.
So what about this special book study coming? In the past I’ve had a full-time job writing curriculum for a church. This is the book we are starting with! This will be a 7 week series, so it should finish by the time some schools/home schools start back. It will begin JULY 15 so it gives you plenty of time to get the book. We’ll read a chapter per week and then have study questions here, some thoughts from my reading, and opportunities for you to comment on the blog and join in on the study. This is sort of like Tim Challies’ Reading the Classics together. I hope to have a blog button up soon so you can have it on your blog or facebook. I’m really looking forward to studying this book together with yall and see how we grow in our knowledge of the Savior. Oh, and this will be geared toward women only).
So, go buy the book and get ready to learn more about our Great Savior!
