Books by Betty S Bender

Thinking is the beginning point for all our words and actions. This 13-week book is a study of Philippines 4 to encourage us to "think on these things" and become more like Christ in our everyday living. Designed for small group studies, but adaptable to any size class.

A battle rages, not only in the world around us but in our hearts as well. Every day we have to make choices - do we follow God's Word, or do we give in to the influence of the world and the power of Satan? How do we live in the world, but not be of the world? How do we balance the desires of our hearts with those of the Father? What's a woman to do? Commit yourself and your life to God, and discover the freedom that can only be found in Christ. Overcome indecision, uncertainty, and the world's influence by making solid choices based on God's Word. Seek and find guidance about topics such as being single, modesty, marriage, love, intimacy, conflict, and communication.
