"Pastor Church Smith unfolds the mystery of grace and reveals the surprising truth: we can never grow in grace by our own efforts."--Cover.

We promise this Bible study is unlike any Bible study you have completed. This Bible study was specifically designed with the classroom teacher in mind. I am often asked how a public school teacher can choose to share Christ in his or her classroom. While public school teachers may not be openly allowed to share Christ with their students, I believe that the love of Christ can be displayed through this word: Grace. You see Paul was writing to the Ephesians who lived in a culture that was much like ours. The Ephesians had to be creative in order to spread Christ's love in an anti-Jesus culture. We will explore what grace looks like in our lives, homes, and classrooms. You will find practical application that you can take back to your classroom as you begin to live a grace filled life.We, Bonnie and Bethany, both believe that interactive classrooms increase student engagement and learning. Come join our interactive classroom and explore a biblical world through QR Codes, coloring activities, and hands on activities. You will love the resources provided for scripture memorization and find community through our active Facebook Group.

If you're tempted to believe you're "not enough," God has another story to tell you.As Christian women, we've all heard the voices: "Just do more." "Meet everyone's needs." "You can achieve Pinterest perfection." We say we believe in grace, but when the dishes pile up, the inbox dings incessantly, and the family clamors to be fed (again!), it's easier to believe the nagging voice that reminds us, "You're just not enough."But what if God's true story of you is more beautiful than you thought? What if-even on your worst day-who you are trumps what you do? What if God says you are already dazzlingly more than enough? In Grace Changes Everything, Janna Wright invites you to discover the grace-empowered truth of how God actually sees you. You will:* discover how very much God loves you-and likes you,* silence the voices of guilt and shame,* nurture a chat-like-best-friends connection with Jesus,* glow from the inside out with true confidence, and* step into your very own adventure: a life of passion and purpose.Because the truth is . . . grace changes everything!

'A powerful book from one of my favorite writers on something we all need more of...and could give more of.' — Ryan Holiday, bestselling author of The Obstacle is the Way and Ego Is the Enemy “Luminous. . . . A work to both devour and savour, Baird has, once again, written a book the world needs now.'”—Guardian From the bestselling author of Phosphorescence comes a beautiful and timely exploration of that most mysterious but necessary of human qualities: grace. Grace is hard to define. It can be found when we create ways to find meaning and dignity in connection with each other, building on our shared humanity, being kinder, bigger, better with each other. If, in its crudest interpretation, karma is getting what you deserve, then grace is the opposite: forgiving the unforgivable, favoring the undeserving, loving the unlovable. Sadly, we live in an era when grace is increasingly rare. Our growing distrust of the media, politicians, and each other has choked our ability to trust, to accept, to allow for mistakes, to forgive. What does grace look like in today’s world, and how do we recognize it, nurture it in ourselves and express it, even in the darkest of times? In this luminously beautiful, deeply insightful, and timely book, Baird explores the meaning of grace and how we can cut through negativity to find it today.

Grace changes everything, period! If this is true, then why do we see Christians struggling with things the Bible clearly states we are freed from? For many, the "abundant life" promised by Jesus seems to be just out of reach. If we believe that God can do all things, then shouldn't our lives reflect this belief? According to the Bible, we are saved by grace through faith, and the gift is from God. This Scripture is talked about in many Christian settings, but do we really understand the implications of this passage? In Grace Changes Everything, discover the simple yet profound truths contained in Scripture that can lead us to the abundant life of freedom promised by Jesus. This life doesn't require a person to be a super-Christian or ultra-spiritual. In fact, the answers provided by Scripture may surprise you in their simplicity.
