40 Days Through the Bible: The Answers to Your Deepest Longings

by Lysa TerKeurst

Overview

Find the better you've been longing for in the pages of God's Word.

Lysa Ter Keurst and the Proverbs 31 ministry team have come together to write a Bible study that will show you how God's promises fulfill our deepest longings.

We know the Bible is a big book and can oftentimes feel overwhelming. Lysa and Proverbs 31 team have created an eight-week study that will help you understand the story of the Bible, from start to finish, along with its amazing promises.

In 40 Days Through the Bible: The Answers to Your Deepest Longings, you will:

• Take a journey through the storyline of the Bible in 40 days so you can see major themes, how they are all connected and what that means for us as we read the Bible today.
• Discover the eight major things humanity longs for and how Jesus fulfills all of them for us.
• Stop the endless cycle of seeking and searching for satisfaction and find the answers to your deepest longings.

"For the next 40 days, we'll be feasting on the very thing Jesus used to defeat the enemy at the end of His 40 days of fasting: the Word of God." —Lysa Ter Keurst
