Divine Design: 40 Days of Spiritual Makeover

Sharla's new book Divine Design: 40 Days of Spiritual Makeover (Concordia) was released in June 2010. Readers will be inspired to participate in a "heavenly" makeover through relinquishing unattractive habits and attitudes and exchanging them for God-pleasing behaviors and thinking. In this "What Not to Wear" experience, readers will be encouraged to get rid of the worry handbag, the prom dress of pride and other soul-constricting outfits. This study book is divided into 8 weeks of study with each week having 5 days of reading and Bible study. A companion DVD with 8 teaching sessions is also available.  

Learn from the Hymns Bible Studies

“Let us yield to our Maker giving him the right to choose our form and function. Let us repent of not trusting his love and goodness and his desire to give us the best. Let us become pliable in the Potter's hands as he gradually conforms us into the image of Jesus.”
