Unpuzzling Your Life is designed for Christians who are familiar with the Bible but struggling in their walk with Christ. Unpuzzling Your Life is a unique seven-week Bible study that compares the life of a believer to putting a puzzle together. Each week covers a pertinent subject for today’s Christian and includes an introduction and five lessons designed to inform, challenge, encourage, and promote spiritual maturity. Bible verses, personal experiences of Sandra P. Hastings, true stories, and unusual facts reveal the uniqueness of each believer and the amazing way God brings the pieces of their life-puzzle together. Unpuzzling Your Life answers the questions many are struggling with today: Why am I here? How can my life make a difference? What does God want from me? Unpuzzling Your Life has discussion questions at the end of each day’s lesson and can be for personal Bible study, a Sunday School class, small group studies, or discipleship teaching.
