 Perhaps you are wondering why there needs to
be another book by another woman author. Honestly, don’t these women
have anything else better to do with their time than to write emotionally
charged books for women?” Well, hold on there “Podner”
(an Okie saying). This is not another emotionally charged, felt-needs book
written by a woman.
Several years ago after my conversion, the Lord placed within me a deep
hunger for the Word of God. My desire was to understand the Word more
thoroughly. My husband encouraged me to begin memorizing the Word of God,
chapter by chapter, book by book. The Lord used that in my life to whet my
appetite to know and to understand what I was memorizing. I began to study
the Bible for myself and that led to a deep desire to pass on to other
women what I was learning. Writing Ladies Bible Studies, along with
homework, and teaching the women in my church, then became my spiritual
mission.
A few years ago, a friend of mine suggested I have my material
published. I really didn’t give a lot of thought to it, but decided
to mention it to an author friend of mine, Martha Peace. After reading the
study, she encouraged me to indeed pursue publication of what the Lord had
taught me. Thus began an adventure, which now has culminated in the book
you hold in your hand.
It is my deepest desire to equip women to be women of The Word. To be
women who will not be led away by the false teachers of our day, but women
who are discerning and able to study and apply truth for themselves.
My Bible Studies are not the typical “warm fuzzy” material,
but are written to reveal the truth of God's Word as it is written. I have
endeavored to be true expositionally, and have studied hard to be accurate
to the Word’s original meaning. Many of my observations and
principles are born from my own love of the Word of God.
With The Master In the School Of Tested Faith will be the first of what
I hope to be a series entitled With The Master. Future studies that are to
come, the Lord willing, are, With The Master in the Upper Room (John
13-17); With The Master In The Fiery Furnace (1 Peter); With The Master on
Our Knees (Prayers of the Bible), With The Master Before the Mirror (1
John); and Colossians and Philippians-yet to be named!
Won’t you join me on the exciting journey With The Master? Oh come
on, go ahead and buy the book. I promise you it won’t be another book
by another emotionally charged author!
