Made for More: A Shared Journey
(An Eight-Week Bible Study on Creation Design, Gospel Identity, and Intergenerational Friendship
Authors: Ellen Mary Dykas, Karen Hodge, and Paula Miles (all PCA)
Walking requires fixing our eyes on our destination and those walking with us. Made for More: A Shared Journey was written to direct our eyes on Jesus Christ, our Guide, and the eternal joy of life with Him that lies ahead instead of getting distracted and stopped by temporal things of the culture we live in.
And as you look around, you will see other women—older, younger, peers—whom God has placed in your life and church community to walk with you. This Bible study, like your life’s journey, is not meant to be walked alone. It is designed to equip you and the women around you to embark in a shared journey toward a better understanding of creation design, gospel identity, and intergenerational friendships.
