Real Life Stuff for Women: On Stress Running Nowhere in Every Direction To say we're busy is like saying Greenland has ice. We're running as fast as we can-to work, school, church, sports, music lessons, the mall-but the faster we run and the more places we run to, the more some of us feel we're really running nowhere. With a few girlfriends who are just as wiped out but want to get somewhere too, you can link arms and begin figuring out how you can get off the treadmill. With this fresh new discussion guide that brings together literary and cultural insights, conversation starters, and key passages from The Message, you can discover together what God has to say about the stress in your life-your schedule, expectations, limits, happiness, and much more. You can find encouragement and insight to stop running nowhere and start walking somewhere with God. [series statement] Designed for small groups, yet just as useful for personal study, this lively, relevant, and easy-to-use Bible study series for women is based on The Message, the eye-opening translation by Eugene Peterson. The series provides a safe place for exploring the truths that matter, taking you where you need to go and bringing greater hope and meaning to your life.
