First, let me start by saying, “Happy Valentine’s Day!” I hope your day is filled with happiness and love. Actually, I hope you find some chocolate and treat yourself to a glass of champagne. That’s a beautiful thing in and of itself.
Like love, She Reads Truth is also a beautiful thing.
She Reads Truth is a Bible study organization based in Franklin, Tennessee. It is a place where creative energy flows with ease. I imagine that all the people who work there have perfect handwriting. They are the kind of people who can turn the most basic of things into something beautiful. And while I look at She Reads Truth as an environment that fosters perfect writers, they are the first to admit that they are not. I love how they describe what they believe by saying:
“We being in God (Genesis 1:1). We believe we are sinners in need of a Savior (Romans 3:23). We believe Jesus Christ came to save His people from their sins (Matthew 1:21, 1 John 4:9-10), fully and forever accomplishing the work on the Cross (1 Peter 2:24).”
Isn’t that what we all should believe? And yet they say it so simply but eloquently at the same time. That’s the kind of the thing you will come to expect when diving into their Bible studies.
She Reads Truth takes the inspiring words from the Bible and turns them into an even more beautiful creation. They put these words into books filled with photographs that really make the text come alive. They break the books down into specific lessons, which allows you to take something different away from every lesson. And even though I am basically reading the Bible, it feels like I am learning more than I ever have before.
The great news about She Reads Truth is that you can download their app and have those Bible studies sent right to your phone. I’m more of a hardcopy girl myself. But what is also great about She Reads Truth is that there is also a He Reads Truth. So, Adam has his very own “manly” Bible study to work through on his own. But the best part about He Reads Truth is that it brought us together while keeping us in the Word. And what a beautiful thing that is.
If you are looking to make your Bible studies a little more beautiful, or just searching for a place to start, I highly recommend She Reads Truth. We started with the book of John. But I already have my eye on our next series, which will be the study of Isaiah in the Lent series. I hope you will use She Reads Truth to open the door to a relationship with Jesus.
