Inductive Bible Study Helps Readers Learn and Better Understand Stories of Women in Scripture
As image-bearers of God’s creativity, compassion, and courage, women offer a unique lens into the nature of the living God. Through the stories of Scripture’s daughters, sisters, mothers, single women, and wives, we are better equipped to see how God engages with women and invites them into his work.
This addition to the Meet Me in the Bible series presents a practical 5-step framework for examining stories of women in Scripture. Ideal for personal use and groups at any level, this inductive study helps readers observe and interpret Scripture and apply it to everyday life. Each chapter explores a section of the biblical text, covering stories such as Sarah and Hagar, Elizabeth and Mary, Anna and Tabitha, and more.

“I was greeted by the bright smile of Colleen Searcy over thirty years ago when I walked into a youth group in West Texas as a freckle-faced, curly headed, unbelieving teenager. Over the last three decades, I have watched Colleen cling to God’s word, teach God’s word, sing God’s word, and live God’s word. If you are looking to meet God in the Scriptures, I can think of no better guide than my friend Colleen. She will help you taste and see that the Lord is good!”
Shane Barnard, singer-songwriter, Shane and Shane
