Other studies we recommend checking out:

Everybody's Normal Till You Get to Know Them by John Ortberg
 

This is not a book for normal people to learn how to handle difficult people—there is no such thing. This is a book about how imperfect people can pursue community with other imperfect people.

The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren
 

The #1 international bestseller! This 40-day spiritual journey will help you understand why you are alive and God’s amazing plan for you both now and for eternity.

New Community Series: 1 Peter by Bill Hybels
 

This study is part of a series that is designed to help you study a specific book of the Bible more effectively by integrating topics that are taken directly from scripture.  This study is on the book of 1 Peter.

The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman
 

In The Five Love Languages, Dr. Gary Chapman talks about how different people express love in different ways. Some people are verbal, expressing their love in words. Others may never speak their affection, yet they show it by the things they do.

The Beloved Disciple by Beth Moore
 

John the apostle must have thought he had seen everything. Having been with Jesus all the years of his ministry, John witnessed more miracles than he could count, saw more displays of power than he could comprehend, and experienced more love than he could fathom. And one unforgettable morning young John outran Peter to his Savior’s empty tomb. Just as Christ took John on a lifelong journey into the depths of His love, He will do the same for you. The bridegroom’s love is unmatched and inexhaustible, and He is waiting to lavish it on you, His beloved.

Esther, A Woman of Strength and Dignity by Charles Swindoll
 

Everyone loves a transforming story. Rags to riches. Plain to beautiful. Weak to strong. Esther's story is that, and much more. It is a thought-provoking study of God's invisible hand, writing silently across the pages of human history. Perhaps most of all, it is an account of a godly woman with the courage, wisdom, and strength to block an evil plot, overthrow an arrogant killer, and replace with joy in thousands of Jewish homes. Through Esther's courageous struggle to help her people, Swindoll explains the power of divine providence in volume 2 of the best-selling "Great Lives" series.

Wild at Heart by John Eldredge
 

God designed men to be dangerous, says John Eldredge. Simply look at the dreams and desires written in the heart of every boy: To be a hero, to be a warrior, to live a life of adventure and risk. Sadly, most men abandon those dreams and desires—aided by a Christianity that feels like nothing more than pressure to be a “nice guy.” It is no wonder that many men avoid church, and those who go are often passive and bored to death. In this provocative book, Eldredge gives women a look inside the true heart of a man and gives men permission to be what God designed them to be—dangerous, passionate, alive, and free.

Waking the Dead by John Eldredge
 

There is a glory to life that most people--including believers--never see.  This insightful book presents the heart as central to life.  Not only is the heart essential; the heart God has ransomed is also good.  Building on these foundational truths readers are shown why real Christianity is a process of restoration, where the broken parts of our hearts are mended and the captive parts are set free.
