Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus - New Bible Study Starting 9/8

Women of Grace:

One of the desires the Holy Spirit has given this group is to know Jesus more and one of the ways we will accomplish this is by studying the Jewish Culture so that our bible study is a more richer experience. The group has selected the book Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus: How the Jewishness of Jesus Can Transform Your Faith, written by Ann Spangler and Lois Tverberg.

Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus is a rare look at what it must have been like to be a disciple following Jesus. Not only does this book explore the customs, beliefs, and traditions of the Jews, the very first chapter titled "Joining Mary at the Feet of Jesus" delves into the role of women in the synagogue. The writing style is one that gives you a front row seat of what it must have been like to be a disciple following Jesus when he walked this earth, exploring his lifestyle and teachings as he fulfilled his Father's will for his life. There are many scripture references to use in your personal study, and one of the great features of this book are practical exercises at the end of each chapter to help you gain practical understanding of what you read. The authors have also provided an appendices that covers the prayers Jesus prayed, various feasts and customs, recommended resources, and a glossary of terms.

Over the next several months, we will incorporate the study of this book into a curriculum that will give  you a richer experience for learning, understanding, and ultimately applying in your life to help you become the victorious Christian.

The curriculum will include:

• Two Chapters of study per month, allowing everyone time to incorporate it into busy schedules:
• First Session: Chapter discussions from reading
• Second Session: Chapter assignment and user experience from individual study and journaling
• Individual journaling per chapter that can be shared via our online ministry (Blog, FaceBook)
• Guest Speaker who is a subject matter expert on the Jewish Culture - TBD
• Field Trip to a synagogue to experience a ceremony applying what we learned through study and to explore other questions and topics - TBD

This interesting study will culminate near Easter 2014 (April 20), giving you a deeper understanding and reason to celebrate and be grateful for the rich traditions that have been preserved and shared from generation to generation.

You can purchase the book at any bookstore but here is the link to Amazon for book and author info:
