Every woman will admit that all sorts of temptations allure us every day: overeating, excess shopping, seeking others' approval, doubting God's love.

Temptation can range from big sins like adultery to little ones like jealousy. Some temptations are more appealing than others, but all of them can pull us away from the things that really matter.

This refreshing new discussion guide brings together literary and cultural insights, conversation starters, and key passages from The Message to help you uncover the core issues behind the temptations and then deal with them with other spiritually minded women in God's forgiving grace.

Designed for small groups, yet just as useful for personal study, this lively, relevant, and easy-to-use Bible study series is based on The Message, the eye-opening translation by Eugene Peterson. The series provides a safe place for exploring the truths that matter, taking you where you need to go and bringing greater hope and meaning to your life.

Comments from people who have used this material:

I recommend this study because of the variety of sources for the readings which include novels, newspaper and bible to name a few. Also, writings from authors of several faiths other than Christianity are printed and examined by the group. The information in each section evoked a lot of discussion and often more questions than answers.

Our group was eager to do this study and we felt that the first one we did on stress was our favourite. We don't really understand why because both studies provoked a lot of thought and discussion. Perhaps, stress was what most of us felt was our bigger problem. Accountability between group members was not as pronounced in this book as in the previous one but maybe that was because many of the temptation chapters were quite personal and we did not go deep enough. However, the chapter on perfectionism coupled with Christian counselling for one of our group members is bringing a genuine change for the better in her lifestyle.

The group members are so excited about this series and I'm sure we will study several more in the future. We became a closer group because of our interaction around the material and the presentation of it in these new life series studies.
