Death of a Nation by Ray Stedman (This study is on line, and can be printed in PDF form)
The tragedy of Judah, as it unfolds in the pages of the Book of Jeremiah, is the tragedy of nations today. This Book of Jeremiah, though written thousands of years ago, is still as relevant, up-to-date and pertinent to our day as it was when first written. The tragedy is that when people forsake God they lose the sense of their own worth. Without exception, when someone turns from God he also loses himself. When the people of Judah turned from the living fountain of God they became like animals, Jeremiah said. They began to act brutishly, and thus to hate themselves. This is always the consequence of a heart which rejects or turns from the living God. When you lose God, you no longer can love yourself. And if you cannot love yourself, you cannot love your neighbor. http://www.raystedman.org/jeremiah/index.html

Breaking Free by Beth Moore (The person doing this study is discipling two young ladies, AMEN)

Breaking Free: Making Liberty in Christ a Reality in Life, leads you through a study of the Scriptures to discover the transforming power of Christian freedom. Based on Isaiah 61:1-4, this in-depth study draws parallels between the captive Israelites and today’s believers.

Beth uses Scripture to point out the benefits of our relationship with God and shows you how to remove obstacles that hinder that relationship. As you identify spiritual strongholds in your life, you will progress on the journey toward greater freedom in Christ. http://www.lifewaystores.com/lwstore/product.asp?ISBN=0767391128

Getting Dusty
A follower of a rabbi's goal in Jesus' day was to walk closely to the teacher to learn all that he had to teach and then do what the teacher taught. Walking so closely to your rabbi in Israel would cause you to get covered in his dust. To be a dusty person today is to be covered in the teaching of God and to live out that teaching in your life.

Join En-Gedi as it seeks to "get dusty" in God's word. Every two weeks a new bible study will be posted on En-Gedi's site to help you learn, love, and live God's teaching. The current series is "Picture This: A Study of Jeremiah"
