Bad Boys of the Bible:

Exploring Men of Questionable Virtue

By: Barbara J. Essex

Barbara Essex reveals a side of the "Bad Boys of the Bible" not usually reflected upon or even considered in most preaching and teaching. Adam, Cain, Abraham, Lot, Jacob, Jephthah, and Samson are well-known men of the Bible who were strong and faithful, yet also weak and challenged. In "Bad Boys of the Bible," Essex takes readers on a journey to explore these male giants of faith. Includes seven Bible study units, reflection questions, suggestions for using this resource in preaching and teaching, and a bibliography for further study.

Women in the Bible

By: Barbara J. Essex

Deciphering women's stories in the Bible can be frustrating and lead to dead ends. So many women appear once and then disappear. Most are not even given a name. Women in the Bible uncovers women's stories and provides tools for studying women in the Bible. Each chapter examines a particular group of women, such as wives and mothers, prophets and leaders, then focuses on individual women. Insights: Bible Studies for Growing Faith is a fresh and timely Bible study series. In these short-term, thematically based resources, individuals and groups are invited to find meaning and direction for their lives by exploring the Scriptures in a way that is both thoughtful and thought-provoking.
