    About this ebook

    Beloved Bible teacher Wendy Blight takes you through five profound New Testament statements about the Christian way of living.

    In today's culture, it can be tough to make decisions that honor God. We're constantly bombarded by calls to follow selfish desires—told that it's ok to focus on ourselves and give in to our temptations. But as Christians we have a higher calling to be others-centered and active in our faith, keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus Christ.

    Living "So That"—part of the InScribed series of Bible studies for women—is a fresh approach to understanding God’s Word and his desire for our lives. Wendy focuses on five verses in Scripture that contain two powerful—and often overlooked—little words: "So That."

    1. Jesus Came So That. . .
    2. God Spoke So That. . .
    3. Pray So That. . .
    4. Trials Come So That. . .
    5. Let Your Light Shine So That. . .

    Through practical examples and biblical truths, Wendy will help you gain a new perspective on daily living and what it means to be a follower of Jesus in a dark world. You’ll be equipped to apply these biblical truths for an every day deepening faith.

    Features include:

    • "Going Deeper" sections encourage readers to dig further into the truths presented.
    • "Call to Action" sections challenge readers to take practical steps to apply what they have learned.
    • Helpful tips and tools for practicing active faith

      Two words that capture the attention of students of the Word are “so that” in various passages of Scripture. Each chapter begins with a prayer for women to help before studying, then through the pages the author leads through various places in the Bible. Not only do we learn the meaning of the two words “so that” written by inspiration of the Spirit for us, but also how we can allow God to take knowledge of head to our hearts. To accompany the teaching, we will read the thoughts of the author along with challenges she presents. These studies written by women are insightful and helpful to any who desire to grow in their walk with the Lord. Grab your Bible, notebook, and pen and be prepared to enjoy!
