In a world of uncertainty where do you find solid assurance and unshakeable truth? Join Women by Grace for a 10-week video and small group driven bible study conducted by Sheila Walsh.

In this book focused 10 week bible study, Becoming the Woman of His Dreams is for women who want to be more Cinderella than Cruella De Vil, but this book is not just about living happily ever after. It's a thoughtful look at the wonderful, unique, and God-ordained role a woman has in her husband's life.

This study is a support-group course that is a follow-up to the course: Making Peace with Your Past. This course is designed to help group members change present-day patterns from a painful past and take responsibility for their own emotional and spiritual wholeness. Email Stephanie Beams at stephbeams@yahoo.com for more information.
