FAQ: How do I participate in this study?
It’s simple. If you haven’t done so already, download a copy of the FREE Bible study guide. You’ll find the download further down this page.
On Mondays I’ll have new printables for you (see links below) right here on the blog. Friday is a recap of the week, and my thoughts on the study. During the week, you’ll study at home, following the outline of the study guide. You can study alone or with a group of friends–well suited for either. In addition to my posts here, you can find me on Facebook. I’ll post my journal entries and share my thoughts. I’ll also open up the discussion for you to share your thoughts every Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the series. Here is a link to my facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/timewarpwife Note: This study is FREE, but there is an optional addition for anyone who wishes to purchase a journal instead of downloading one. In addition to the questions, the journal is beautifully arranged along with images to color, space to record your thoughts, and tidbits of information to help you dig deeper. The link for the journal is at the bottom of this post or you can go straight to Amazon to find it. Click here.

You do not need anything else for this study other than a Bible and a pen!
Additional Option…
In addition to the study guide, I’ve created a journal (available now at Amazon) for the study, that’s unlike any other journal out there. This one is a Bible-study/journal combination that’s jam packed with information. In it you’ll find everything you need to complete the study. I provide insight, encouragement, thought-provoking questions, cross references, and more… FAQ: What’s the difference between the journal and the FREE study guide? The journal is not only beautifully designed, it also has everything in one place so that you don’t have to download and print the questions, the weekly coloring pages, and worksheets. It also has a little background information here and there such as interesting tidbits from history. It’s designed to be a keepsake in which you can journal, and then tuck away for future reference. It’s ideal for group study, because members can take their booklets home, answer the questions, color in the pages if they like, and bring them back each week to share their thoughts. The journal is available now on Amazon. I’ve also provided some sample pages below so you can take a peek inside. (This post contains affiliate links) (Please note: The journal is an optional addition. You do not require it to take part in this study, and will definitely enjoy the free resources I provide)
Esther: In-Depth Bible Study Journal – Now Available
WHY READERS ARE BUYING IT:
“Not only is this a companion study to the Bible but it’s a beautiful coloring book too. Lots of little tidbits about the book of Esther and the customs of the time are sprinkled throughout the book. The journal asks many questions to get you thinking and leaves plenty of room to write out your answers.” – Donna M. Trull (Amazon Review)
Come back on March 20th when we’ll begin this study together!

we are two ladies who have started having bible study once a week together…we’ve been friends for over 20 years! since we only meet once a week, would this study still be available to us to use longer than it was intended?
thanks!
Darlene Schacht says
Yes, it will be up on my site for a long time!

Hi
I have recently moved and have not yet found a home church. I decided to do this bible study on my own, since I haven’t meet anyone to invite yet. I miss being apart of a bible study. Not sure if we connect here with others or not?
Thank you
Rhonda

Thank you so much for this bible study! I did it on my own quiet time. I really enjoyed this! I love that I was able to do some critical thinking, which allows me to remember it more. I look forward to doing more bible studies that you have on your site. Thank you again!

I’m loving your study so far! I bought the journal version on Amazon and it is lovely. I’m having trouble however finding your notes on the study. Can you try to make them easier to find. I found them yesterday but can’t find them today. It just keeps running me in circles. Thank you!
Roxann says
I have found your notes finally. I see now how your posting them. I didn’t open the comment you had so I couldn’t find them. Would love to have the option to have them emailed to me 🙂
