Everlasting: Peaks, Valleys, and Grace in the Psalms

Anxious. Worthy. Ashamed. Nostalgic. Lonely. Secure. This is just a handful of emotions we observe in the Psalms—and in our day-to-day lives, too. In this women’s Bible study from beloved author Christina Hergenrader, you’ll be guided through 25 psalms, digging into their genres, perplex emotions, glimpses of Jesus, and more. While in this life we experience mountaintop moments, deep valleys, and everything in between, we can rest in God’s everlasting love and grace. Gather your friends and together you can read, feel, discuss, pray, and grow closer to the Lord.
