Running Nowhere in Every Direction

To say we're busy is like saying Greenland has ice. We're running as fast as we can - to work, school, church, sports, music lessons, the mall - but the faster we run the more places we run to, the more some of us feel we're really running nowhere.

With a few girlfriends who are just as wiped out but want to get somewhere too, you can link arms and begin figuring out how you can get off the treadmill. With this fresh new discussion guide that brings together literary and cultural insights, conversation starters, and key passages from The Message, you can discover together what God has to say about the stress in your life - your schedule, expectations, limits, happiness, and much more. You can find encouragement and insight to stop running nowhere and start walking somewhere with God.

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:

My small group is all women with small kids. We all really enjoyed the book. The format was great. We liked the fact that everything you needed was printed in the book (i.e. you didn't have to get your bible because it included the bible passages in the Message). The readings and examples were fresh and relevant and a great variety of sources. The questions opened up lots of discussion and in fact we are using the same question format for our new study because we liked it so much. It was very practical and good for personal application. I would definitely recommend this book.
