Bible Study Resources
One of Iron Rose Sister Ministries' foundational principles is to provide small group Bible study materials simple enough for anyone to lead, while being deep enough for everyone to grow. We encourage a rotation of facilitators amongst the women in the group. And a small group is anywhere from 2-8 women so that everyone has a chance to share openly and confidentially as Iron Rose Sisters.
Check out our Facilitators Guide and other Small Group Resources on our Free Downloads page.
2013: Human AND Holy
The first interactive small group Bible study book was released during Iron Rose Sister Ministries’ first year as a ministry.
Through this 13-week interactive small group Bible study, we'll discuss Jesus and His example of how to live as human and holy – set apart to live a holy life, with human nature, but not according to sinful nature. There’s freedom in understanding the distinction between human nature and sinful nature – not a freedom to sin (Rom. 6:1), but a freedom to be all that God calls us to be.
Michelle receives first box of books
Words are inadequate to describe the feeling of receiving the first box of books, in print, with your name on them. Michelle remembers it vividly, as do many Iron Rose Sister Ministries prayer supporters recall the posting of this picture on Facebook, chronicling this pivotal moment when these printed resources were first made available.
2015: In God’s Right Hand
A vivid description of our heavenly Father that transcends the Old and New Testaments, God’s right hand is a special place of honor from which He demonstrates power and authority, promises protection and salvation, and provides a source of strength. God’s righteous right hand is also where Jesus sits to intercede for us. Through this six-week interactive Bible study, we will explore these characteristics of God’s living and active right hand in our lives.
Sharing a book in Cuba
Mercedes was a Cuban sister suffering from painful ovarian cancer. When she won this book, her cancer was in brief remission and she delighted in telling others about God’s healing that came through His right hand. Mercedes’ friends and family have continued to share her well-worn copy of this book since Mercedes has gone to rest eternally in God’s right hand.
2016: Who Has the Last Word?
This has been one of the most popular, yet most challenging books of all the Bible study materials made available. It has served as an ongoing resource to many women’s groups as they continue to refer to the Lie/Truth Chart as a vital resource in the daily spiritual battle.
In Who Has the Last Word? Cutting through Satan’s Lies with the Truth of God’s Word you will walk with other women through entrapping lies into the freedom of truth. And you will explore the truths of Scripture as the Word of God breathes faith, hope, and love in abundance into your lungs, filling you with new life in Christ. Satan came to steal, kill, and destroy, but God sent His Son that we might have an abundant life. Who will you give the last word?
Sharing Truth in Denver, Colorado
A Sunday morning class at the Northwest Church of Christ in Westminster, Colorado, shares about how Satan’s lies impact their own lives and those of their families. Young teens, retirees, and women who grew up in Spanish-speaking homes were all encouraging one another in the transforming power of Truth.
2017: Called to Listen
Our Heavenly Father has a message that we have each been called to hear, but are you listening? Amid the noisy world we live in, listening has become a lost art. Called to Listen is an invitation to personal devotion through forty days of Daily Listening Exercises, and to six weeks of small group discussion through Weekly Reflections. Each week focuses our listening: to the Good Shepherd, Creator, Father, Son, Holy Spirit, and through the five senses.
Hispanic Women Listening Together
Latinas in Nashville, Tennessee, have partnered with a congregation in coastal Guatemala to study Llamada a Escuchar together long distance. Currently serving in a ministry role at the Grandview Iglesia de Cristo are Carlos and Silvia Baltodano. He is the former director of Health Talents International’s Clínica Ezell, where his wife served as a dentist. The local congregation where they worshipped in Guatemala and where they are now in Tennessee are the two groups of women that have been listening together!
2019: "I already AM"
“I AM who I AM,” from Moses to me, declares, “I already AM: Testimonies of Belief", from women throughout Scripture and today, are an affirmation of the One “who was and is and is to come” already being all that He is in our lives. The Great I AM will make Himself known and strengthen your belief through this 13-week interactive and in-depth Bible study of who Yahweh is, as revealed through His name.
The 2019 Destination Retreat mirrored the theme of the book “I already AM.” Women studied about the names of God and His eternal nature as the One who was and is and is to come.2021: Chamada a Escutar
Called to Listen was the first book to be translated to Portuguese, Chamada a Escutar, released in Central Africa in partnership with Luso-African Missions Publishing.
For Brazil, we have transported a few books down from copies printed in the U.S. Long-term, please join us in praying for partnership with the right publishing company for printing and group of people for distribution of our printed resources.
Sisters reading Chamada a Escutar in Angola
Jordan Yarbrough (not pictured), a single missionary to Angola, took ten books with her to bless the women in the communities where she served in Portuguese-speaking Central Africa. Who would’ve thought that God would take our resources to the continent of Africa more quickly than to Brazil, within the Americas.
2021: One Single Reason
With God at the head of the table, we will seek wisdom and examples from His Word to guide us as we each pull up a chair and join the conversation. Love—for God and for others—is our one single reason to engage in this open dialogue through authentic relationships. One Single Reason: Conversations with Single Women provides a voice for single and single-again women, encouraging them in ways that lead to contentment as a beloved daughter of the King and bride of Christ.
Chrystal Goff shows off her book via Instagram, inviting other single women to be equipped in these Conversations with Single Women. She also participated in a small group study of the book with other single and married women once/week.2022: Audiobook release
Our first Audiobook, One Single Reason: Conversations with Single Women, read by the author, Michelle J. Goff, will be released later this year (2022)! See our Singles Book page for all the platforms where you can purchase it!
