 The
Bible Study in the circles for 2009-2010 is Joshua
A Journey of Faith by Mary Mikhael
Suggestions
for Leaders by Joyce MacKichan Walker
In
the nine lessons of Joshua: A Journey of Faith,
Mary Mikhael invites us to explore the challenging,
sometimes heartrending, book of Joshua. Pursuing
such themes as leadership, the promise of land,
the concept of “holy war,” and outsiders becoming
insiders, we learn ultimately to find rest in
the justice and mercy of God.
2010-2011
Study Guide
Journeys
Through Revelation
Apocalyptic Hope for Today
by Barbara Rossing with Suggestions
for Leaders
by Louise Lawson Johnson
In
the 2010–2011 Horizons Bible study, Journeys through
Revelation: Apocalyptic Hope for Today, Barbara
Rossing guides us on a journey to meet the crucified
Lamb, Jesus. In a journey reminiscent of the ancient
Israelites’ exodus from slavery, we are led from
an unjust empire and its system of domination,
through mythic battles and plagues, until, ultimately,
we find ourselves in a renewed creation where
God comes to live with us on earth. This brilliantly
hope filled vision speaks to us in the midst of
the urgent crises of our day. In a time when all
of creation stands at a turning point, a kairos
moment, Revelation can help guide the choices
we make each day as we seek to live into the renewal
that God has for the whole world.
