Women Opening the Word is a Bible study designed to help women more richly and fully experience the presence of God. Meeting God in the pages of a WOW study opens your eyes to the wonder of God’s love and the purpose of living deeply in His presence. Transformation is at the heart of Bible study. God wants you to be transformed into His likeness. The WOW Bible Studies help us answer the call to live as changed women — cross-shaped, resurrection-empowered, faith-driven, Christ-exalting women — to look like Jesus.
Whether you use the study in a classroom or small group setting, or in your personal quiet time, WOW focuses on answering three challenges that every woman who longs to live closer to God faces: Commitment – WOW’s four day format is designed to help you find the time and develop the discipline of daily Bible study; Confidence – If Bible study seems intimidating and overwhelming, WOW guides you on a walk through Scripture to seek God’s face and experience His transormation as you connect God’s truth directly with your life; Creativity – When Bible study feels stale, the WOW studies provide a refreshing and innovative way to encounter God, through a variety of study methods, techniques, and special features.
Immeasurably More
“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine,…” — Ephesians 3:20a
Most of us settle for “good enough” lives. As long as there is a little more happiness than sorrow, pleasure than pain, blessing than burden, satisfaction than sacrifice, we consider ourselves ahead of the game. But God never meant for us to live “good enough” lives. He longs for you to live so abundantly, so fully, so deeply in Him that your life overflows with His Immeasurably More.
Every day you get to pick your path — It’ll Do Lane or God’s Immeasurably More. The Book of Ephesians is your road map. It challenges you to set your sights higher, walk more confidently, pray more fervently, and kneel more humbly before a God whose greatest delight is to give you more of Himself than you could ever ask or imagine.
Set Free
“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” – John 8:36
Our hearts struggle against ancient chains. We know that we are meant to soar, fly free, and experience deep joy, but the reality of our lives often feels claustrophobic and stale. Walking through the Exodus reveals the captors that try to grab at our souls, and opens a pathway straight into the heart of God. He is passionate about you. He will fight battles, slay enemies, shake prison cells, and break chains in order to make us completely His own.
ABCs of a Godly Heart
God wants you to know Him. The Psalms are a window that looks deeply into His heart—a place where He reveals His purpose for your life. Journey through the Psalms—songs of praise, adoration, deliverance, and redemption—and learn how to reflect the glory of God through a more intimate and fulfilling walk with Him. It’s as simple as A, B, C.
That You May Believe: The Gospel of John
Throughout the Gospel of John, the drama and courtroom suspense intensifies as the apostle builds a case for the identity of the Savior. Listen to witnesses, hear testimony, examine the evidence and decide for yourself- is Jesus the Christ?
Echoing His Heartbeat: The Life of David
Travel a new path with an old friend as you journey into the heart of God in the company of Israel’s beloved King David. Exploring the joy and sorrow, triumphs and struggles of David’s life will draw you closer to God as you strive to echo the heartbeat of the King of Kings.
The Shadow of the Cross
Walk with the Savior from Gethsemane to Golgotha and recognize anew the power that radiates from the shadow of the cross, as you focus on the foundation of our hope as Christians – the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus.
Fragrance of Faith
Wrap yourself in the comfort of Christ’s love through an in-depth study of the Beatitudes. Explore how the fragrance of faith is woven into the lives of godly women and how we can experience the transforming power of His love today.
Paul: By the Grace of God
Dig deeply into Paul’s life and ministry as we journey thorugh Acts and discover the power and impact of God’s amazing grace.
Our Father in Heaven … Teach Us to Pray
Using the Lord’s Prayer as a model and guide, enter the practical classroom of prayer and learn the lessons that God longs to teach you about coming into His presence and experiencing the privilege and power of prayer.
A Light in the Darkness: Elijah and Elisha
God raised up the great prophets Elijah and Elisha to stand in contrast to the darkness that engulfed their generation. Walking with Elijah and Elisha, you too will hear God’s call to shine as a light in the darkness, to experience the power of His presence, and rest in the surety of His love.
God Pass By Me
God’s heart is revealed through His names. Throughout His relationships with His people, God opens His arms and shows His children who He is and invites us to explore His nature and character. Grow closer to God as He reveals Himself through the study of His names.

I was just recently introduced to your WOW books. I can say I have never gained so much from a study. It has changed my prayer life. I have bought several copies of GOD PASS BY ME for other ladies in our congregation. They all had the same reaction. I had to say THANK YOU.
I’m so excited to find your web page! I’ve studied a few of your books, and have told so many people about your awesome insight, and most importantly always drawing upon God’s words for us to find the answers! HUGE Fan. May you continue to always seek God’s will and help teach that to others!
My bible study group has completed all of 10 your WOW books. They have brought into a closer relationship with God and with each other. I thank God for your gift of sharing his word with us.
So we all want to know when the next WOW book is coming out??? We will be anxiously awaiting…
Just a note to say that your WOW books are “WOW!” I have completed three books independently and look forward to the other volumes. I love the way your books are formatted with questions, not at the end of each lesson, but scattered throughout. Thank you for sharing your Bible knowledge and your abilitiy to teach others. Your blog is very uplifting and encouraging as well.
