Created, the first study in the Breathe series, deals with the echo of creation. It takes far more than the first chapters in Genesis to contain the story of God's creative activity in the world.
When used with the companion workbook, the Created Small Group resource provides everything the facilitator needs to generate meaningful group discussion. Created will help you gain a perspective on how all of scripture works together to tell God's big story. It will help you see where God is at work in the world, allowing you to delight in God's creativity in both scripture and life.
In this small-group Bible series Breathe: Sacred Space for Women, Shawna Songer Gaines teaches women how to read the Bible and see themes of God's love and grace woven throughout Scripture-exploring the character of God and what it means to you today.
