New from Jen.

The More Messy People leader guide outlines six small group sessions, complete with prayers, summaries, and discussion questions. It is designed to be used with the participant workbook and DVD and will support group leaders of all experience levels in creating strong learning communities.

Jen Cowart continues her study of the very messy lives of biblical heroes—people who, like us, made mistakes but found God was able to use them in powerful ways. They all play a significant role in the biblical narrative, but their stories are far from perfect.

Through the lives of rival sisters like Leah and Rachel, or sisters with very different personalities like Martha and Mary, we see God chooses to use people who don’t have it all together. Through the lives of great, but imperfect, biblical heroes like Moses, Elijah, Peter, and Paul, we see God meets us in our troubles and chooses us even if we seem unqualified.

Well into my sixth decade of life, I have learned a truth that Jennifer so beautifully illustrates in “More Messy People.” It’s this simple, yet profound truth. “Don’t put a period where God puts a comma.” Failure is common to our human existence. Whether they result from our family dysfunction or just making bad choices, God has an amazing and supernatural capacity to transform tragedy into triumph. Jen creatively helps us connect the lives of disordered women and men in the Bible to our lives and together discover the God who loves us most and best.
