PREMIUM ROAST WITH RUTH
Coffee Cup Bible Series 

Four-week study

A “nobody” kind of girl, Ruth is born in the wrong place—Moab. She marries an Israelite at the wrong time—when his nation is experiencing a famine. And she ends up in the wrong circumstances—her husband dies leaving her childless with no Social Security or unemployment insurance. Yet miraculously, this humble widow ends up as the right person in the right place at the right time. After accompanying her bitter, thankless mother-in-law to far-away Bethlehem, Ruth marries a much older man—a relative of her deceased husband. Why? So her mother-in-law can eat. And in the end this selfless act means Ruth’s progeny include Israel’s King David and ultimately the King of Kings Himself. Why? Anything can happen when we choose to follow the one true God and trust in Him.

Premium Roast with Ruth, a Coffee Cup Bible Study, considers one of the two great women for whom a book of the Bible is named. Designed for group or individual study, this Bible study demonstrates how God is in control; how He always keeps His promises; how He can reverse impossible circumstances; and how He blesses the faithful more richly and for longer than they could ever imagine.

This and all the Coffee Cup Bible Studies books contain Monday-through-Friday Bible study questions, along with devotional thoughts for lighter reading on the weekends. Designed for group or individual study.

CAPPUCCINO WITH COLOSSIANS
Coffee Cup Bible Series 

Four-week study

Who does the Bible say Jesus is? Human? God? Both? Many have tried to rework His identity, insisting that He walked on ice, not water; that He was married to Mary Magdalene; that He was in cahoots with, not betrayed by, Judas; and that He didn’t take on human flesh—He was only a spirit. These ideas are nothing new—they’re simply old deceptions repackaged. First-century believers in Colossae had challenges of their own from those who held to early forms of Gnosticism. Through his letter to them, the apostle Paul helps the Colossians—and consequently us—to see Christ in His true glory as firstborn, as master, as Lord, and as God.

In Cappuccino with Colossians, a Coffee Cup Bible Study, you’ll encounter in the humble Son the God who created all things and through whom all things hold together—from the vastest galaxy to our very lives. This and each book in the series contains Monday-through-Friday Bible study questions along with application-oriented devotionals for lighter reading on the weekends. Designed for group or individual study, Cappuccino with the Colossians sets the stage for exciting, faith-stretching interaction with God’s Word—both the written one and the One made flesh.

MOCHA ON THE MOUNT
Coffee Cup Bible Series

Six-week study

Imagine yourself having coffee with Jesus. What would you ask Him? What might He ask you? In this study we’ll consider His words in the Sermon on the Mount and explore how our righteousness can actually “exceed that of the scribes and the Pharisees.”  Yarright.  Actually, we’ll explore how Jesus set the bar so high that to enter the kingdom of heaven we realize our deep need for grace and for someone else to bear the penalty of our sin. That’s the only way we get that kind of righteousness—His righteousness credited to our account. 

This and all the Coffee Cup Bible Series books contain weekday Bible study questions and weekend devotional thoughts for lighter reading. Designed for group or individual study. 

ESPRESSO WITH ESTHER
Coffee Cup Bible Series

Still, Esther went on to became a great heroine, proving that even a girl with a past—if she has the courage to follow God—can be used to accomplish great things. Explore God’s grace through Esther’s story.

JAVA WITH THE JUDGES
Coffee Cup Bible Series  

Six-week study

“Everybody did what was right in their own eyes.” Sound familiar? In the history of the nation of Israel , the period of the judges was not unlike today. Okay, they didn’t have Internet porn and bio-terrorism threats. But they had the me-centered “I” problem mastered—just like us. This study is chock full of exciting drama—from Ehud the Knifer to Samson the Strong to Deborah the Leader. Their stories will inspire us to do what is right in God’s eyes, no matter what the cost.

SOLOMON LATTE
Coffee Cup Bible Series

This study focuses on the love poetry in Song of Solomon. Full of sensuous, sensual imagery, the ancient Hebrew love poetry in this book of the Bible will leave you with a deep appreciation for the beauty of God’s design for human sexuality. Great for groups, couples, or individual study. Group and personal questions are separated so you’re not sharing more than you or your spouse want you to, yet you can still benefit from group interaction to gain insight into the text.

New Doors in Ministry to Women,

Mixed Ministry, and Leading Women Who Wound

Sandra Glahn's thoughtful study of Esther takes us into the heady realms of world power to view the ancient world (and our own world) thru the lens of God's sovereignty—truly a reassuring message, given the uncertainties of today's international scene, as well as an affirming reminder of God's practice of using flawed people to accomplish His purposes in every age. 

Carolyn Custis James, author of
When Life and Beliefs Collide
and Lost Women of the Bible

Sandra Glahn's study, Espresso with Esther, adeptly uses probing questions and pertinent historical and cultural insights to draw out timeless truths from the book of Esther and guide you to an understanding of how these truths apply to life today. In the accompanying devotionals, Glahn skillfully weaves biblical examples with modern day experience to make the lessons of Esther come alive!  Great for any group or individual seeking deeper understanding of God's control and timing!

II really can't say enough good things about [the Coffee Cup series]. They're super-portable, doable, deep (but not overwhelming), and I learn so much from them.
