Ladies, once again I am asking for your expert opinion on a Monday morning! I am looking for a Catholic women’s Bible study for the mother’s group at our church, which will meet a total of 10 times over the course of the school year. Last year we did a Christian study called “Effective Parenting in a Defective World,” and it was a hit because there was no preparation involved, so moms felt like they could show up even if they hadn’t read a chapter in a book. The other nice thing about this study was that we watched a 20-minute video segment where the speaker was dynamic, engaging, and educational, and at the end of the segment our moderator used the questions in our book to facilitate discussion. I feel that it can sometimes be awkward for a group leader to be “leading” peers in a Bible study, and I think that this format was helpful – our group leader, a fellow mom, had someone else doing the instruction, and her main job was to facilitate discussion.

This year, our priest would like us to choose a Catholic-based Bible study, and I would love some suggestions! What have been your positive or negative experiences with particular studies in the past? Were there any that lended themselves more or less to group discussion? If there was preparation involved, which books were the most engaging and the easiest to read through? Were there any that were particularly helpful in your vocation as a wife and mother?

Thanks in advance for your help, ladies! God bless all of you as you being the last week in June!
