The “Lord” Series: An Overview
“My burdenand callingis to help Christians (or interested or desperate inquirers) see for themselves what the Word of God has to teach on significant and relevant life-related subjects. So many people are weak and unstable in their Christianity because they don’t know truth for themselves; they only know what others have taught them. These books, therefore, are designed to involve you in the incomparably enriching experience of daily study in God’s Word.”
The “Lord” books can be read and studied individually or in a group setting. As always, you will get the most from the Word of God if you first work through the lessons on your own. Then you will be able to share with others in your group. Some of the books have tape series to augment your study time. Visit us at www.precept.org to check on availability.
Each book has been thoroughly tested and has already had an impact on a multitude of lives. As you read the summaries of the books below, ask God to show you which study would help you grow in your knowledge of Him most at this time in your life.

Lord, Heal My Hurts is, understandably, one of the most popular studies in this series. If you’re in touch with the world, you know that people around you are in great pain.

But in God you can find salvation from any situation, from any hurt. In this thirteen-week study you’ll see that, no matter what you’ve done or what’s been done to you, God wants to become your refuge
He loves you and desires your wholeness
and He offers healing for your deepest wounds.

Lord, Is It Warfare? Teach Me to Stand is a study that trains you for spiritual battle. God’s Word tells us that our adversary, the devil, goes about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). Many times we either don’t recognize this enemy, or we’re scared by his roar. We would like him to go away, but it’s not that simple. In this eleven-week study you’ll learn how to recognize Satan’s tactics and how to be set free from bondage. As you focus your study especially on the book of Ephesians, you’ll discover how to build an unshakable faith that makes victory yours for the taking. (This is the most challenging of the “Lord” books and requires an average of two to two and a half hours of weekly preparation to complete the assignments.)
